[Fmpro] Online Music Stores Protest Additional Download Royalties

[JJB]

To some degree you can tell the country of origin of a download  
request. I think Apple bases their system on the credit card, so even  
if you change your info so you appear to be from ireland, you can  
only buy the things that are available for the USA - really annoying,  
because there are some cool things you can only buy on itunes if you  
live in another country, and are not available to residents of the  
USA. Other systems could be based on the network address of the  
originating computer, although that can be inaccurate as to geo- 
location.
