Another Geographic Restrictions rant

Last night I read on the news that Noam Chomsky had been refused permission to Israel, and wanted to do a little bit to support him by buying one of his ebooks.

I spent a couple of hours searching the internet, but could not find any store or publisher which would sell to me because I live in Australia. This so stupid - there was money trying its best to get out of my bank account into a publisher's or retailer's bank account, and they wouldn't accept it. Dumb.

Anyway, three questions, one specific, one more general, and one quite general.
- Does anyone know of a ebook retailer which will sell one of his books to me in Australia?
- Does anyone know which publisher has the rights to sell his books in Australia? If I could find that out I might be able to approach the publisher directly.
- Does anyone know of a way to find out, for a given author and publisher, which firm has the rights to sell ebooks in Australia?

Regards, Alex
