I'll go out on a limb and say that I have absolutely no idea what would be the best way to compensate authors and publishers except that perhaps the royalty system may have become outdated.

I get frustrated with people who think it's okay to take advantage of someone because they are "rich" or are part of a "big corporation". What if the ebook was created and published by an unknown author and an independent publisher? Should we avoid pirating thier product because they aren't "rich" and "big"? Constantly blaming the rich and big corporations for the woes of the world is just too easy.

Geo Restrictions are flat out wrong and could easily be considered censorship.
