What do you think about circumventing geographic restrictions?
This is loaded topic, and mostly a question of ethics. And before anyone claims that this is illegal, let me tell you that it is not. Circumventing geographic restrictions is just constitutes a breach of contract and a breach of contract isn't the same thing as an illegal act, people always confuse them.
But that is the problem. Is breaching the contract you made with Amazon or Netflix immoral when you do it to circumvent the geographic restrictions? I do it with Amazon, Crunchyroll, Netflix...
And if you think it is immoral, would that stop you?
For me; I believe that it is wrong when the content you are enjoying is locally licensed and available, otherwise there is nothing inherently wrong with it. But I still do it.
PS. The biggest reason I buy my books from Baen, Google Play Books and Kobo is because they sell to me directly. Even if they are pricier than Amazon.
