What about geographic restrictions on a freebie, is it okay to bitch & moan then? Right now there's a new one on offer (e-book) I'd like to have but when I go to the download page all I get is get the polite-with-much-legalese-thrown-in version of "Not American? Not welcome!"

Guess not only will I not be getting the freebie but I won't be buying anything from that place either.
Not because I don't want to but it won't let me. And it's the artist who loses out with a setup like that, since only Americans can see his work, he doesn't get maximum exposure/sales.
