Yes. Because clearly; being able to purchase anything one wants (even when someone has made a decision to not sell it to you) is an inalienable right that cannot be infringed upon.
I get the "someone got my money" defense--I really do. But I fail to see how throwing money at something tilts the scale of morality/immorality. Do it or don't--but forget about trying to justify it in a legal/moral sense. It's not civil disobedience, and you're not being discriminated against. There's just some books you can't buy without breaking rules and/or engaging in deception. Own that, or don't do it. Those are your choices.
