ITunes Music Store launches in 4 More Countries

Posted by timothy on from the cupertino-money-funnel dept.

Paal Unanue-Zahl writes "I've just published the news in our blog, iTunes Music Store has opened in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland. As for Australia, no dice. It seems that a record company is holding up the launch for the Aussies. We are waiting for official confirmation from Apple later on Tuesday, but purchases are possible with credit cards from Norway and the country icon shows up in the 'Select country' page. Finally."

    I don't know about US buyers buying from overseas ITMS:es, but I know that Apple didn't let non-US:ians in non-ITMS-countries use a non-local store.

    I seem to remembering this having caused quite a ruckus with the European Union when UK citizens were not allowed to use non-UK iTunes Music Stores. The reason UK citizens would want to do that, is that the ITMS is significantly more expensive in the UK. Because of the pound and all.

    Switzerland has one of the highest percentages of Mac users worldwide, and it's about time that the bloody itms showed up here.
