Why Is It So Hard to Give a Record Label My Money?
Found on Music Think Tank on Tuesday, 08 November 2011
The album was released overseas earlier this year. I don’t want to buy the cd and pay for shipping and wait, I want the music now and I want to pay for it.
Guess what, I can’t buy it. The album is available in iTunes Finland, but not the US. That is the problem.
Two weeks later I ran into this exact same problem again.
Then I hit the band’s website. They have a iTunes link so I click it, it takes me to a iTunes Canada page and since I am in the US I can’t buy the album. Really, again! I am ready to buy some music and because I am in the US I am not allowed to buy.
Leave it to the industry to provide reasons for that "evil" sharing. They still think in countries and try to apply that thinking to a global medium where nobody cares about borders and region codes.
