And your point is? Bypassing geographical restrictions isn't piracy. Piracy is taking something without paying for it. There is no "copyright violation" in buying a DVD from a different country.
So, if you pay for a DVD and illegally bypass the georestrictions, that is OK.

Does that mean if you pay for the streamed video (which you can't access) and then watch a prated copy, that is OK too?
