Hello,

I am trying to buy a couple of ebooks by Theodore Sturgeon, but apparently they are licensed for sale to USA, Australia or New Zealand only.

Please reply to [email protected]

This is not really a vendor driven issue, it's based on their required compliance with copyright / licensing laws. As long as they're selling to a buyer address in a country covered under the copyright, the vendor is fine. It could be questionable whether the buyer is breaking any laws by doing this... but I'm not a legal expert!
