Yes, distribution agreements are of no importance to me. Besides, an authorized seller offered to sell, I paid them, and received the goods. As I also mentioned, I fullfil the criteria, thus I am eligible. My iPaddress is in the country (via VPN) and I can give a valid US address. They never expressly ask: "are you an American citizen or resident currently residing in the US?" So I never made a false statement. Can't be more proper than that. Sorry, these attempts to make me feel like a pirate are futile. Why should I care that the publisher did not intend for Amazon (or whoever) to sell to me? I am not bound by their agreement, and if I fullfil above criteria, then everyone is happy --- author, publisher. and seller. Win-win-win.
