So it's virtually impossible to access pirate copies of ebooks, movies etc here. I'm sure that some expert techies find a way round it, but it's not worth the bother, and I would imagine that the law severely punishes offenders now.
Just thought I'd update you, though I notice that most peeps who have a location in their details and who have mentioned this issue aren't in the UK.

Actually, it's trivial. Just get a VPN.
