I think the publisher's position in general is relatively reasonable. They are simply trying to protect the markets that are theirs by right of the laws of their countries and the agreements they made with the authors and or the author estates.
Ultimately, this is an issue of an outdated international copyright system that was developed long before international trade became as easy as it is today. The long and the short of it is that international copyright law needs a total overhaul and rationalization.
