"If there were no geographic restrictions then ebook sellers in countries where it is expensive to do business would go out of business from competition by those in other countries where the cost of business is less."
That would be OK if we had
1) Protected the jobs of the textile industry
2) Protected the jobs of the manufacturing industry
3) Protected the jobs of the Call Center industry
4) Protected the jobs of the software industry
But, of course we did not. And I am certain I missed a number of jobs that big business off shored to save wages, taxes, and regulations.
Should the eBook industry be special? If business actively plays the global market, why can't customers?
