Apple's Haves and Have Nots, Around the World

Rambo Tribble writes "As this story in the Economist notes, Apple's policies regarding international sales are often confusing and outdated. Apparently, Apple either hasn't been aware of political and social changes in the world over the last 20 years, or doesn't wish to acknowledge them." Soulskill rightly notes that at least some of the complained-about policies boil down to Apple's adherence to local copyright and licensing laws.

I should have better linked that sentence with the piracy sentence. In context of that article, however, I remember seeing that as the official line for the lack of foreign content long ago. The article just seems like a late comer to an issue that has existed for a long time, lacking good research.
