Hi Simon,
thanks for that. What really annoys me about Amazon’s MP3 service is that I’ve tried all sorts of ways of trying to fool them that I AM US based (from paid proxy servcies through to using Tor). They’re just too smart for me !!!

There’s very little of the 40’s and earlier blues (Charlie Patton, Son House etc) on the P2P networks, and anyway, I’d like to financially reward the artists / labels / fanatics behind the labels if at all possible.

Hi Martin,

What I really don’t understand, and as far as I am aware, Amazon hasn’t addressed this, is why they insist in restricting their business by geography. Shouldn’t we be beyond that in this day and age? And its not as if Amazon couldn’t deal with scalability issues and the like, what with their size and experience!
