So what about a case where the author is declining to sell the book in a particular area for tax purposes? With the new VAT laws, I can see an author declining to sell a book to some places so that they don't have to worry about complying with VAT laws in that region. Are you saying that the author doesn't have the right to choose where to sell their work?
