I am not being smug, but they cannot afford the bad publicity of suing a paying customer. So I will take my chances here.

As far as tax issues are concerned, I myself have always argued that EU tax issues are another main reason why sales are being regionally restricted. However, since the amounts involved are so small, there is little risk involved for the individual. But to make "official" sales to European customers a US seller would have to have a VAT collection system in place. An they probably consider that to be far too much hassle to be worth it.

However, for you EU residents -- can't be too careful when tax issues are involved. Nothing your governments care more about than collecting every single cent they can get their hands on.
