There are many ways people are charged based on what's on the people's bank account. Look at the airlines for instance, they mastered this skill since 1978. I see nothing wrong here. There are high-price markets and low-price ones, to circumvent it, there are smugglers to run the line - you can buy digital content using a proxy in USA or UK and using a one-off (digital) UK credit card which is easy to buy.
Same thing goes about say, smartphones in Russia. It is an accepted practice to buy iPhones from smugglers where they are 60-70% of the price in a retail store due to Apple price policy for Russia, i am fine with that. There are different prices for different places based on a lot of factors, trying to fight it will only increase price levels EVERYWHERE because the volume will go down.
An ideal-perfect pricing system is where the product is sold to the maximum number of people who want it and can afford to pay at least an equivalent of incremental cost of production and delivery (which is, for digital goods, near zero), yet everyone pays a maximum amount he can afford. One of the criterias for price setting is the country (there must be many others of course, again look at the airlines and learn from them).
