If a bookstore sells an ebook (restricted to the US) to a US resident with a US credit card, while he/she is in any other place of the world, it's breaking the agreement/contract/whatever.

The state of affairs is: "Sorry, I don't do A, because I'm not allowed to do B".
A: Sell to people without a credit card issued in some country.
B: Sell to people located in other countries at the moment of purchase.

If they aren't allowed to do B, that's fair enough, but not doing A doesn't solve it at all (other than avoiding to be sued).
