They don't want to jeopardize that just to start discussions a couple weeks early.
I understand that Westeros has to cave or else but what is the big deal from Martin and the publisher's POV? Who cares if some people leak some spoilers, the people who read them are people like me who like them and don't feel it takes away from the experience of the book. In fact, it excites me even more when I read about what Varys has to say about Aegon. It excites me to want to read it even more. I want to know what else happens. Amazon.de fucked up, the publishers should just bite it and leave it to Westeros to regulate their own forum.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

I have no clue of the business, but why don't they just give it a green light everywhere

Street date was broken so it is legal for other booksellers(in that country) to sell it now.
