Globalisation only works if network abuse and network contacts follow best practice and engage.
Else trade blocks and network country blocks are done and remain in place until certain countries ethically/practically 
do the right thing.

That all said: Restricting content based on location is complete and

Globalisation is for your corporate lords and masters to buy labour and raw materials where they're cheap.

If mere peons try to buy goods and services in the same way, expect to be crushed by the best legislation money can 
buy :(
