I do not wish to bring down the wrath of the mods by going off topic. See this recent thread for a l o n g discussion on this!

Briefly on-topic again, what is the law about buying ebooks when abroad? If I buy a paperback when on holiday in the US, I can bring it home. Is the same true of an ebook? If I download "Gone With The Wind" when in Australia, can I keep it when I go home?
