"Tailor prices to specific markets"

Like Canon did, and maybe still does a decade ago? If you wanted to buy a 70-200 f/2.8L, you could buy the lens in Yugoslavia.... go collect it there yourself... stay for a week to use it on that vacation... and you'd *still* have money left compared to the price in the Netherlands.

If there's one thing that should go, then it's geoblocking on digital products. Why should I, in the Netherlands, pay a different price than anyone else, in another country? Why should I be disallowed to buy a book in the UK, because I don't live there? In the past, I could understand; a seller might not want to go through the trouble of sending me a huge paper book, and it may even be too expensive compared to the local price (if the book is available). Now, with digital books, there is no difference to the seller who buys the book, as long as it's going to be paid for.
