You could have resorted to piracy, but you didn't.

My basic take on geo-restrictions is that is a contract between the author and the publisher. There is absolutely nothing illegal about buying a book in England if you are from the US. As long as the author gets their money, what's the problem? Is it any different than someone buying a paper book in England that isn't available in the US and sending it to you?
