Hey Potter fans! Got $500 to spend?

No answer for you, flippyshark, but a second on the question. There are tons of titles that I'd like to order from iTunes overseas, but Apple has overprotected themselves by making them unavailable to us - how silly.

Here's my example: last year, the two founding leaders of the britpop band Suede reformed as The Tears. In addition to their full-length, they've released 2 singles. Each single was released in England as two separate CDs (pt 1 and 2) and a 7", with each version containing exclusive tracks. I bought the CDs from amazon.co.uk - they have no problem selling UK products to an American address - but I'd rather download the 7" b-side in digital format than buy the 7" as an import and digitize it myself. I'd love to be able to pay for it through iTunes UK, but if Apple won't let me, then I'll look for it somewhere else (which isn't "legal"). Like Leo Laporte says, putting these kind of protections only hurts honest people - the pirates are hardly slowed down by these kind of things.

I love the US Audio versions of HP. I had no idea that there was a UK version out there. *sigh* More to pine away for.

Check this out

It translates out to $193.00.
