I really can't believe its legal to charge more or less based on a customers location, or probably other data about us. This seems like such a fucking problem.

Really, it's super legal. If you buy a textbook in America or you buy the same textbook in India, the price difference can be 90%, and I recall the publishers legally going after people for having the gall of buying the cheaper textbooks.
