Oh I know how to deal with it. Dealt with it years ago. Just that I don’t want to fall foul of the rules here. Not that my dealing with it is unlawful. In fact here in AU, I don’t think it’s illegal to circumvent geoblocking.
There was an audiobook I wanted to buy from audible (I have a subscription with the AU audible store) and found it wasnt in that store, though it was in the US store. No way could I get it without an American address, or even with a gift card, as somehow my AU address came up at delivery and i was informed that it wasn’t available for sale to AU.
I emailed the author and asked her if she knew her book was unavailable in audio in AU. No she replied, perhaps I should contact the AU govt to make it available there. Well that told me all I needed to know, which was that many authors have no idea what geoblocking is and who is responsible. I told her it was her publisher she should contact, govts don’t do commercial marketing that creates geoblocking.
Meanwhile I am still waiting for that book in audio.
