This appears to be a limitation (feature?) of associating the e-book with a single device. MobiPocket (for example) seems to have no problem selling e-books to everyone, presumably because they have worldwide rights to the book and/or no technical means of limiting sales (MobiPocket books are mulit-device and sold by multiple sites).
I am surprized that there is no technical work around to the USA only limitation. If your ISP is in the US, or just has a US domain associated with your PC, how does Sony discover that you are not physically in the US?
