It's ridiculous though. They have products that people want to buy, and they are trying to stop them thanks to DRM and geo-restrictions. They are taking exactly the wrong approach. Oh no! We have a product and people want to buy it, what should we do? Um, make it easy for them to buy it? But no, they make all these restrictions so UK customers with credit card in hand saying 'here is my money' get turned away, and Canadian customers can't buy BOOKS just because they have crappy CELL PHONE COMPANIES, and then they have the nerve to complain that they aren't making enough money???
