A book series I am a fan of, was available only on fictionwise on my country. (It was available on other countries with other stores). Barnes e Noble then bought fictionwise and sent me an email explaining I had a few days to download the books I legally bought because their policy was that downloads after the deadline would be allowed only for people physically inside USA and they would even check VPN and proxy usage. So right now there are 0 legal ways for me to get the books I am a fan of. So piracy it is. I guess the author can't even complain if lost sales since there is literally zero ways for me to pay him.
