  2. I’m sure Apple would love to take Canadians money and sell songs up there. So put the blame where it belongs…on your socialist government for all of their taxes and red tape. It’s not Apple’s fault they aren’t there yet, they would love to be I’m sure…

  5. Why couldn’t Apple sell a prepaid card that an iPod owner in Canada or Australia could purchase. In that way they could download music from any of the iTunes countries. Then the differing tax or recording industry types couldn’t say anything about it.

  8. Canada is coming next month or soon at least. I mean put some perspective on it, you can imagine how long it takes to explain common sense to a bunch of yanks.

    Just getting the concept that we have laws and follow them is really tough for them. Nothing like pulling a fast one like “but downloading music off the net is legal here.” Ohhh makes em so mad they just want to invade us, but the bullies wouldn’t dare. They know they would get their asses kicked so bad they would have little maple leafs on their stripes.

    So law lovers are totally bizarre for a terrorist nation that uses the Geneva convention as toilet paper, the UN as bully practice and the media to rationalize it’s twisted practices.

    But one thing the United Terrorist States should never ever forget…is that peace defeats war, every time.

    Now, time to clear some hard drive room for all those iTunes.

  10. To all my American friends,

    Road Warrior is a well known socialist dick-head. We Canadians like him and yank his chain whenever we want to be amused.

    Please tolerate his antics.

  11. With the iTMS, I went through an “initial phase” where I downloaded a bunch of favorite songs that I already knew I liked a lot. But now I keep finding great new ones through the biographies and various internal links. The site grows on ya. Glad we could do something good for Europeans for a change. Groove on.

  12. >I think of the countries don’t make sense when australia as a country has a bigger demand of users than in some of those small countries(austria, greece & italy)

    Er, Italy has a population of 56m, just short of the UK and France on 59m. Australia meanwhile has a population of 20m so wait yer turn! ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” /> You have a point with Greece and Austria though – 11m and 8m respectively. And as for luxembourg… More population stats here.

    One guy from Finland:
    “Oh and Sweden is missing! =)
    What a JOY!”

    Good to see the childish streak in ” One guy from Finland” still persists! What is this Finland vs Sweden thing?

    I can’t resist tit for tat:
    From my experience Sweden has better weather, lovely forest and lakes, and people actually converse! Though the latter takes some
    time … come to think of it what is the difference between Finland and Sweden … 😎

  15. Swedish did not want �uro so here is the result.
    They don�t get iTMS at least not yet and that is right for them. The dicission not to have �uro will cost them alot and that is IMNHO right for them.

    What comes to weather… It rains more in Sweden
    What comes to forests… We have more forests than Sweden
    What comes to lakes… We are a country of thousands lakes so there is more lakes here than in Sweden
    What comes to people… Well… That list is too long to tell

  16. OT post: to tease “One guy from Flipperland”

    Finland is 337030 km^2 of which 9.4% is water.
    Sweden is 449964 km^2 of which 8.67% is water.
    To a good approximation for Finland and Sweden,if there is no lake, there is a forest, if there is no forest there is a lake … 😎

    Thus,
    For Finland,
    area of lakes = 31681 km^2
    area of Forest = 337030 – 31681 km^2 = 305349 km^2
    and for Sweden,
    area of lakes = 39012 km^2
    area of Forest = 449964 – 39012 km^2 = 410952 km^2

    Hmmm … Thus, Sweden has more forest and lake area than Finland! 😎

    But at least Finland has iTMS … no need for conversation anymore … hmmm … nothing changes!

  18. True Sweden is bigger than Finland.
    We do have more lakes than Sweden. Though.
    If we include the Karelia that Finland lost to commies then Finland is bigger than Sweden.
