It's all about legal restrictions the record labels put on sellers. Amazon was the first major retailer to sell it's MP3s completely DRM-free and would love to sell them everywhere. Unfortunatley, the music industry is a bloated land behemoth covered in greedy fat-cats and change has been painful. Still, some laws have been making progress and my guess is within the next year and a half (I know, that's a long time still) that you'll start to see downloads more widely available. Check out Digital7 too, they serve alot of european countries. Twain Out.

Special case is AmieStreet - independent shop selling indie bands and those small bands/labels acts totally stupid going against themseleves and lowering their sales. Unbelievable. Again, AmieStreet should press them to get rational. I don't see that activity from any of the online shops and I don't see them publicly being sorry for their approach to their customers.

Problem is the law. I think, they want to sell this product overseas, but somehow they can't, because of law. good article Dusoft, I agree. Problem is the law.
