Interesting idea, but how about this:
If I understand correctly the difference between buying a paper book at amazon.com and downloading an e-book from Fictionwise is that in the first case the country of the seller is considered to be the country where the sale takes place, and that in the latter case the country where the e-book is downloaded is considered to be country where the sale takes place. This is the reason for geographical restrictions on USA-only e-books.
What if Fictionwise would replace the download link in the bookshelf with an "e-mail me this e-book" button?
Your DRM info and e-mail address are registered in your Fictionwise account, so I assume that it would be possible to implement a system that downloads the book at Fictionwise (download location USA) using your registered DRM info and e-mails the downloaded book to your registered e-mail address.
This would, in my opinion, not be different from buying a paper book at amazon.com, which after the sale is sent to your location outside the USA.
Would this legally be possible?
