ordeal in Canada

Hi

I was trying to buy Hawkins's On Intelligence.
Being in Canada I'm locked out from the Connect store by default.
Luckily I work for an American company so I could access the Connect store from my office - I guess from our IP address SONY thinks I'm in the US.
Once I created an account I could not access the webshop from home as well.
I really really tried to buy the book, but SONY rejected the purchase because my credit card is not from a US address.
Other websites are also selling the book but as you'd expect it comes with DRM so I wouldn't be able to read it on my SONY Reader... unless I break the DRM which I don't want to bother with, plus it's illegal.
So I can still purchase the paper book for 25$ versus 15$... I don't really feel like it.
Finally I found the book on a warez website.
I let the end of the story for your imagination
