But doesn't that have to do with different countries having different regulations and laws? I mean, I don't really know anything about the thought train behind geo blocking, but that would be my first guess?! This is probably only marginally related, but just the other day I had a conversation with a coworker from Morocco. We were talking about the fact that in his country, every purchase you make involves bargaining. That makes me think now that what we in the Western world have come to think of as the norm -- fixed prices on products, being the same for every customer -- is probably a fairly recent phenomenon if we consider the history of mankind. And if I think about products like airline tickets, that principle is not even true in our culture: you may have to pay vastly different prices for the same product, i.e., for a seat on the same flight. Now, my next sentence was going to be "... but at least the different in price is not because your nationality is being discriminated against", but now I'm actually not so sure any more that that is true?! I mean, I guess no-one who's in the air fare business made a business decision along the lines of "let's charge Germans 20% more" or so, but if factors like your locations (and hence with a high probability also your nationality) are factors in the data mining which is the basis for what determines the price of a ticket, isn't that de facto an implementation of discrimination in a sense? And how about the pharma industry? The same medication can sometimes cost orders of magnitude more depending on what country it is sold in (think Africa). So coming to think of it, I think at least in the globalized world, different selling conditions depending on the geographical location are actually not that rare, even for non-digital product. Minimally, wouldn't all produces that target large markets at least adjust for things like average income / purchasing power in the respective regions?
