Actually I am not, not entirely.

I had a recent email conversation with an SF author regarding GR. He agrees there are issues and that it does encourage "other means" to obtain a book they wanted to buy.

He is going to pass the word about how disgruntled readers are.

There were GR restrictions on an SF book written by an Aussie author based in Melbourne, I believe. I had to go through hoops to obtain the book fair and square. Why cannot I buy a book in Australia written by an Australian author as it defies logic I cannot.
