And besides, the restrictions in the publisher contracts are not based on the country of residence, but on the country of location at the moment of the purchase. 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).
