Why can't you buy music from other countries on Itunes?

Question

I mean it's a bit ridiculous, for us to have an account with itunes we use our credit card. I understand maybe the difficulties in different currencies but..isn't that what a credit card is for? We use that all over the world but we can't buy anything on it from foreign itunes stores. What gives?

Answer 1

because apple are lazy, if you were able to purchase from other countries itunes, they would constantly have to change the price based on the exchange rate... The only way you can do it is to go to that country and purchase an itunes card.

I have to suffer that problem with Japanese itunes..

Answer 2

you are completely right...

and the stupidity of iTunes and Apple in general goes even further: i live in a country that does not have an iTunes-store and I can not buy anything at all... it's like they don't want my money

10xgod there is still free stuff on the internet, although i hate pirating music, but what other chance do I have
