To be more exact geographic restrictions are an attempt to get as much money as possible (Which is fine, this is a business not a public service)
If you outlaw geo-restrictions then poorer countries will not get any books/shows at all because people would just buy/stream it from India or somewhere at a cost of next to nothing due to the cost of living differences.
