I listen to foreign stuff almost exclusivly. I download MP3s via filesharing as a "rental type process". If I like it I go out and buy the album. If I don't like it, I delete it shrotly thereafter. End of Story. Some of the foreign stuff is a little hard to get, though, so it may take me a while to find it, if it's not already OOP. Same thing goes for movies. I saw Cowboy Bebop Knockin' on Heavens Door a month or two ago, and I am going to buy it the instant the US release becomes availble. Noone's losing money because of me. I can't say this goes for other people, though. I am an advocate of the $0.25-$0.50 per MP3 that some reccord companies are thinking of testing out. The rare times I do find an American song I like odds are I hate the rest of the album and just want that song.
This generally wouldn't be a problem...

This generally (foreigners having trouble with our currency) wouldn't be a problem, but apparently we are in the minority and foreigners are in the majority (as far as population is concerned). ~:0)
