    But not if you live outside the USA

    The Amazon MP3 store may be great; it LOOKS good; but I can't purchase anything from them. I live in Australia and the Amazon MP3 store is only available to residents of the USA, it seems.

    Unlike iTunes (well, most of their stuff, anyway).

    Unlike Magnatune (www.magnatune.com).

    Unlike Classics OnLine (www.classicsonline.com).

    Unlike... well, you get the idea. Why Amazon (from whom I can happily buy books) won't let the rest of the world use their new service, I can't fathom.

    I'm SO tired of silly regional copyright restrictions which in this day and age of globalisation are just absurd.
