Sorry to say that, but this is ridiculous nonsense. Nobody is discriminating against you, publishers and booksellers have made contracts based on the old world order (quite often these contracts are even based on different tax laws and special protection for bookstores in some countries) and now with ebooks they run up into the problem that books can be downloaded from any store anywhere in the world -- and they need some time to work it out.

That is no excuse for stealing. Working around these restrictions is pretty easy. And if they ever do find a way to prevent me from buying something then I will read some other book.
