You appear to be suggesting that you think there's something "immoral" about it: I honestly can see no reason to agree with this. What on Earth is immoral about buying something?
Some other people (not you) appear to be saying that buying a DVD from a foreign retailer is no different to piracy. I find this a completely ludicrous suggestion, to equate legally buying something with copying it illegally.
I'm sorry if you find this explanation unsatisfactory, but it's the only one you're going to get, 'cos them's my views on it. Take 'em or leave 'em,

OK, let's say you buy a DVD from Amazon.com that's set to be watchable only in the US. One month later, you find out that there is now a UK company selling the DVD buy restricted for just the UK. You've taken money from the UK company selling the UK DVD. Is that right? Nope, it's not.
