For me also it is not about price, though price does play a role. One might look on agency pricing as an attempt to bring a fixed book price to the whole world. The only saving grace seems to be that indie publishing is increasingly providing competition to traditional publishers, and perhaps moderating some of their worst behaviour. Publishers should have no place in setting retail prices. And I can't think of any good reason for denying you the right to purchase a book you want just because you happen to live in a particular region. |

I believe that there is a growing understanding/realization that geo-restrictions are just discrimination based on address and not OK. The people in countries that are paying lower prices don't seem to see a problem with it, the people in countries that are paying higher prices don't seem to have a problem with circumventing the geo-restrictions. |

This will, of course, mean that the publisher will have the sole rights to produce paper books in regions where they have no capacity to produce/promote them and it is unlikely they will be able to sub contract paper only rights to these areas. So we will fix the global ebook market at the expense of the paper market. |

![]() I have already raised the issue of people mendaciously misinterpreting me to be referring to already-sold books. That has nothing to do with refuing to sell -- to anyone. |

We had a related issue in Canada where the president of Bell Media claimed that Canadians that were using VPN to pay for access to Netflix in the USA were stealing.
http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2015/06/s...-is-not-theft/ It amazes me that companies think they own who I can buy media from and it's stealing if I don't buy from them. Sorry I didn't sell them my consumer choice. I haven't seen anything in the copyright laws that states that content providers own the rights to me as a consumer and they can sell these rights. |
