in an increasingly globalized world, literary media has become culturally relevant anywhere in the world.
In the past, when localized media is the only option, locking out regions from purchases wouldn't have been an issue (since nobody would've known about it).
But now the internet exists, and information being global means that literary media must also be global. To be denied an opportunity to participate in its consumption is to deny the right to participate in cultural exchange and communication. I think that's wrong, and therefore, this justifies piracy for those individuals who would otherwise be denied due to cost/availablity reasons.
