I'm not sure whether the VAT situation that someone has mentioned is not more important than the publishers respecting geographical boundaries.

Is it a criminal offence to "import" an ebook without paying VAT by fraudulently registering as a resident in the country of purchase?

I'm wondering if, in the eyes of the law, it's a worse crime to buy a book without paying VAT than to copy it off the darknets without paying anything.
