iTunes 7 & the iTunes Store

Apple’s new iTunes 7 software is up and running on my MacBook Pro and I like the new layout and views that are available. My main problem is with the iTunes Store. When I lived in Canada I was frustrated that I couldn’t buy lots of music that was available from the UK store and now that I’m back and living in the UK my main issue is the inability of anyone other than US residents to purchase TV shows and movies.
We live in a global age. We can communicate around the globe over the internet using iChat and Skype yet countries and companies still put up barriers to stop you purchasing goods from other countries. I have always believed in one huge open market and protectionism sucks.
