Quoted for truth. Especially since SE have been known to breach Australian trade law in our market in the past by region-locking (most of the industry does, so they become somewhat powerless as a result if someone here pirates their game). I'm guessing it is less to do with legal issues and more to do with not wanting to find out about possible legal issues.
