Sorry to say, I pirate ebooks with abandon. As an American living in Eastern Europe, for nearly every site I try to buy ebooks online wont accept my credit cards, the print copy isn't available (in English that is) and therefore it is nearly impossible for me to get books to read. Other than paying like 3x the price per book of having someone in the U.S. buy them for me, and then ship them. Which is bad. On the other hand, I own nearly 7000 print books, and buy when I happen to be in a country that WILL accept me buying things over the net from there. I agree, regional coding and credit restriction based on geography is SUCH a GREAT idea :|
