Thanks for trying to explain it to me - but I still don't get why I shouldn't find a friend in the US to get the paper issues mailed to them (to throw them away, or read them) and still only pay half of the price. Probably the same thing as every geo-location access (i.e. Steam prices often equalling 1 USD = 1 EUR) - but I've never seen such a severe disconnect.
