It is of course very stupid that you can buy a paper book and have it shipped to any location on the globe, and that the global internet is treated with these restrictions.
Moreover, some sellers may use the location of your computer as the selling point, which i find stupid in itself, but others use the billing address of your credit card, which is even more stupid IMO. Fortunately others will allow you to enter an address, but even then I find these restrictions stupid anyway. It's 20th century policy applied to the 21st.
