Exactly. What's stopping me from buying a 320kbps MP3 and burning it to a CD? It'd be impossible to tell what's legit or not.

No it is not. You need to keep your orders sheets (from beatport or your shop) organised. That's your proof. You don't have them? Then you got a problem when being checked?
I'm not saying you have to take them with you everywhere you go, but it would be wise to at least have them around somewhere, even if it is in your (e)mailbox.
On the other hand, anyone who gets some promo's every now and then has the problem they have no proof of getting that music a legit way. It's a tough subject...
If less is more think about how much more more would be.

Juno have territory restrictions as well, so most of the time something that's territory restricted on Beatport will be on Juno too, however they might have it on vinyl or CD, so yeah that's your other option - look into buying things on other formats if you're desperate for a certain track.
DJ Download currently don't have territory restrictions so there you could well find a lot of the tracks that you're finding are restricted, although that will be changing soon due to pressure from the labels.
