In general a "workaround" is used to PURCHASE the ebook by stating that you are in country actually allowed by the geographic restrictions to buy the book. You PAY for the book so there's no theft. The only thing you are guilty of is bypassing the idiotic barriers the publishers have put up to prevent you from throwing money at them...
