iTunes is good.... but!

[Izzette]

I wonder if you all have this same problem with iTunes as I do..

I love Itunes and how it features a good legal way to download songs and actually supports artists.. The only fault that iTunes has is that, say I live in America which means I can't download songs from Japan's iTunes. What's up with that?

I swear its like the Music industry is trying to force people to only listen to the music in their own country.

This block forces people to either illegally download a song that they could have supported legally on itunes but due to the block were unable too, or means they'll have to spend $12 on a CD single + $6-8 in shipping.... So 1-3 songs on a cd end up costing an outrageous $18...... when they could easily be bought over itunes for $0.99-$2.00.

Why must they stop us from exploring other places music? This doesn't seem very fair. !
