Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US

Posted by timothy on from the just-a-test-to-see-if-you're-reading-the-terms dept.

JasonDT writes "I just accepted the new terms of service for iTunes and found that I will no longer be allowed to access US iTunes outside of the United States. This may seem like no big deal but, I am a US citizen living abroad and I regularly purchase and view TV and movies from AppleTV. Not to mention US citizens just traveling abroad. Does anyone know if this has been enforced or have themselves been affected by this?"

    Just because I'm american and we are allowed the freedom of speech inside the US doesn't mean I can have a copy of Mein Kampf in Germany.

    LOL, I think this might be the most sensible post to invoke Godwin's Law ever!

    The TOS specifically mentions the annexation of Canada.

    Apple annexed Canada? Just wow. I didn't know that had that much cash on hand.

    Well, congrats Steve.

    No, no, it's Russia that wants to annex Alaska.

    Fortunately, we have Palin standing on the coast up there keeping a close eye on them.

    YES I AM BRAZILIAN INFERIOR HUMAN BEING and I had one account with a US address and an itunes card. Shit, I fucking said yes to the EULA or SLA when prompted. GOD DAMN YOU, APPLE! Now I can get no new apps for my iPhone. Oh well, just one more thing: GOD DAMN YOU APPLE! I'm just switching to Android as soon as it's available here in Banana Republics.

    Yeah, it breaks down like this: it's illegal to buy it, it's legal to own it but, if you're the proprietor of a kampf bar, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, which doesn't really matter 'cause â" get a load of this â" if the cops stop you, it's illegal for them to search you.
