And Amazon's customers should never, ever violate the ToS they agreed to. Yada, yada, yada. I don't much care whether it's harmless or not; it just shouldn't happen.

It's ridiculous to me that companies like Amazon and others are expected to adhere to some 1950s, universal, the-customer-is-always-right, uni-corny code of ethics, while their millions of customers are free to lie, cajole, and cheat their way into getting whatever they want--just so long as they can justify it with their own personal, philosophical, (and utterly non-relevant) rules they choose to do business by. Goose/Gander folks. Lying to Amazon that you live in another country so you can buy things that aren't available to you in yours isn't a hell of a lot different than the things Amazon does to you that make you angry. Same with removing DRM you said you wouldn't (regardless how harmless), or trying to get around behavior on devices that are running firmware determined not to let you make those end runs. You don't like the vegetables being served? Take yourself to another restaurant.
