EOS not Availble in US?!?!?!?

So it seems that one of the most anticipated upcoming ICO is NOT AVAILBLE FOR US PURCHASE

The reasoning for this, which is said on the FAQ of their website, is that US states have different regulations making distribution difficult. Here is the direct quote from https://eos.io/faq.html.

It was decided that U.S. citizens, residents and entities should be excluded from purchasing EOS Tokens in the token distribution because of some of the logistical challenges associated with differing regulations in the many states of the United States of America. block.one does not believe that the distribution of EOS Tokens or the EOS Tokens themselves are securities, commodities, swaps on either securities or commodities, or similar financial instruments. The EOS Tokens are not designed for investment or speculative purposes and should not be considered as a type of investment. Nevertheless, U.S. citizens, residents and entities should not purchase or attempt to purchase EOS Tokens. 

This is really a shame. I for one was really hoping to be a part of this ICO as it looked promising for future applications. Here's a video that give more details about what EOS is about.
