But what are the restrictions supposed to be anyway?

If, as it has been said, the problem is to allow downloading only from specific countries (since there's where the sale in considered to take place), then they could simply check the IP address (assuming it's possible to tell the country from that). Sure, it's easy to use a proxy or a remote computer, but is it actually "circumventing the restriction"? I don't think so, just like travelling to the US to buy a [whatever device available only in the US] is not circumventing anything.
