IP-based pricing is in itself not illegal in any jurisdiction I am aware of, but that doesn't mean you're in the clear. Legally, you may not charge one protected class more than another. For example, you cannot charge a racial minority more or less for the same service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_discrimination#Discrimination_based_on_price http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_discrimination#Discrim... But that's not what you're trying to do, right? You don't mean to discriminate intentionally. That just means you are not guilty of "disparate treatment." IP-based pricing will, however, almost definitely lead to "disparate impact." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact If you charge people in certain areas more, you're almost certainly going to end up charging more on average to people of a race, religion, or other protected class. It might not be your intent, but the outcome will be the same. Given the potential PR or legal problems, I'd strongly advise you not to price a product or service based on geographical regions.
