Mattst,
You might well be right. But I'm not sure if publishers are lax about sending physical books abroad simply because they have always tolerated it. The point is that the author gives the publisher the right to publish the book in a given territory. Selling an individual copy is not the same as publishing it. The book has already been published at that point. At least, that's how I would interpret it.
But clearly that same principle is not applied to ebooks - perhaps for the reasons you mentioned.
