Then we're square.

I don't either. Not inherently, anyway.

I've no idea. I merely jumped in when the topic of the (im)morality of getting around geo-restrictions was brought up. At least one person posited that geo-restriction actually leads to piracy, so therefore, the thwarting of geo-restrictions was "good" because authors still get paid and it prevents someone from having to turn to piracy to get what they want.
