I think the issue is availability. Geoblocking and other restrictions can affect availability but they aren't themselves the issue.
I won't get a pirate copy of anything I can buy. If I can't buy something I want I'll get it any way I can. And when I say "can't buy" I don't mean I can't afford it. If it's available and I can't afford it I'll wait till I can.
I have accounts with Amazon, Kobo, B&N and 2 or 3 others so I can nearly always buy the books I want. And I do. On those rare occasions when a book I want to read simply isn't available legitimately I'll get it some other way. The same is true of movies. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime so I can get nearly anything but just every now and then I can't and what I want isn't on DVD so I find another way.
Honesty isn't a digital thing. We're not either honest or thieves. Honesty is a goal, and a good one and one I strive for. I don't think downloading a pirate copy of a book I can't buy legally is enough to characterize me as a dishonest person. Am I without blemish? Nah! That's not even a goal.
