Absolutely! I was talking about my problems with the end result, the reasons behind that certainly have to do with (outdated, non-uniform) copyright laws. The end result is still denying people (legal) access to literature for no other reason then where they live, which is what I find unacceptable (especially with respect to digital goods where the cost of replication is zero), and dangerously close to censorship.

But if you think copyright as it is today is a good idea then I really do not think that companies using the existing copyright by having geographical restrictions is doing something you can complain about.
I don't, so I'll continue to complain
