Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US 319
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!

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

OT, but your sig is slightly wrong. It should read: "I agree with 90% of the world which are all idiots, you don't, therefore you're biased!"
That is better, but you should take it one step further and translate it into something humans can understand.
Seriously, it needs a diagram accompanying it.

As someone who has visited Australia several times over the past few years, I'm wondering why the Aussies would want to travel overseas.
Bored with the moderate weather in NSW? Move to QLD.
Bored with the stoner culture around southern coastal QLD? Move to SA.
Want better wines? Move to WA.
Want to get away from civilization? Move to the NT.
Want to get away from the oppressive heat? Move to Victoria.
Feeling REALLY interested and want to travel to strange and exotic lands?
Well, there's always Tazmania.

Out of curiosity, how are you posting to slashdot?
By whistling pure 300 baud tones directly into a plain old telephone and handling the TCP-IP protocol and checksums in my superior cerebral cortex, just like anyone else.
Any connection to slashdot involves transferring many files, all in formats repeatedly shown to be exploitable in the past, in virtually any application you could be using.
Oh, that's right. Since you can't guarantee you can't catch a cold it's OK to run barefoot through the hot word in a plague hospital and snog all the ebola patients. I'll keep on washing my hands after using the restroom, if that's OK with you.
