    sometimes its one or two tracks on a compilation, now that really GRINDS MY GEARS.
    Try South Africa gentlemen . There probably isn't a SINGLE purchase I've made on BP that doesn't include a restricted track Even worse is buying books from the Kindle store on Amazon. Junodownload has less restrictions to South Africa. Boomkat would be a good alternative - IF they did WAV. No - FLAC is NOT 'the same' Boomkat.

    that's messed up... no one wants to pretend they're polish to get tunes.

    i really don't get restrictions, it's like saying 'no fat chicks'

    So once again im confused. Why all the restrictions, Its the internet, this is a global economy, What the deal, why restrict anyone, its just pushes them to use torrent sites?

    I don't get it either. Spent a week or so trying to find Ultimate Ear Triple Fi10's in South Africa. The Logitech distributors are 'not allowed to distribute the product in South Africa'
