Interesting example. I have long wanted to read HP in the original UK English edition, but nobody (not even Pottermore) offers the UK edition for sale in USA (French, Spanish, German etc, yes). I’m sure I’m missing something in the translation to the degraded form of English that is in common use here.
It is a totally bizarre digital rights situation, though it is no doubt worse if you live somewhere like Bulgaria and cannot buy anything legally.
But I’m not motivated enough to seek out pirated copies.
