Sorry, what? We absolutely do, if we're willing to pay. The point of copyright is to provide a monetary incentive for authors/makers of works to go make their works, via a temporary state-sanctioned monopoly. If they then take their state-sanctioned monopoly and refuse to sell to certain locations...
Well, that's not what the state granted their monopoly for. They have no right to do that.
Again: The purpose of copyright is generating more artistic works, and if they aren't interested in extracting profits via selling their works in a specific country, then what's the point of restricting the right to copy the work in that country in the first place?
It violates the point of copyright, not to mention anti-trust laws.
