When you are lying about your location you are not committing a crime because you are not doing it on a passport or visa application or a similar document. The location is only important to the ebook publisher/distributor. By lying you are providing an easy alibi for Fictionwise. Actually you are helping everybody -- Fictionwise and the distributor get their money and they can pretend they have done everything they could. I think they might have created this loophole on purpose, it would be extremely easy to fix it.
The same thing doesn't work on iTunes, at the Sony store, etc. It is quite possible that Fictionwise might get into trouble for being negligent. But the worst that could happen is that the publisher/distributor cancels their contract.
