The way law now works on electronic transactions means that the law of were you're purchasing from is not that relevant - the transaction location is where *you* are, and hence local law applies (Which is something I think some book companies have not quite grasped when they helped create that situation, and it's not especially in their favour).

This is what I mean I don't believe a contract can render something illegal can it?
The law in the UK says I can buy books from the USA.
Therefore no matter what contract an american publisher makes with an American store.
I am not breaking any laws.
the store may be in breach of their contract but also they would not have broken any laws.
The only area I could see an issue is in terms of Tax law and avoidance?
