Oh itunes, why are you so shit?

I wanted to get the new Springsteen live track (Wrecking Ball). First it tells me "this isn't available in the UK store, click "Change Store" to go to the US store". I do, log in and then get "Your account is only valid for purchases in the UK." Look, you arseholes, why not tell me in the first place?
Idiots.

Youtube irritates me for similar reasons. There are loads of music videos that I can't watch because I'm not in America. WTF?

You can get around that by using Hotspot Shield (which disguises your IP address so websites can't tell where you're from, at least not youtube. Hulu.com actually notices if you're disguising youre IP which is very annoying).
