It's stated quite clearly that for the time being, that this is only 
open to residents of the United States.

Taken from http://www.apple.com/music/store/launch/launch.html:
-----
The iTunes Music Store requires:
A Macintosh computer (iBook, PowerBook, iMac, eMac or Power Mac)
Mac OS X 10.1.5 or later. (version 10.2.5 or later recommended)
iTunes 4 must be installed
Internet connection (DSL, Cable or LAN connection recommended)
Apple ID or .Mac account. If you don’t have one, it’s easy to sign-up.
The iTunes Music Store is only available in the U.S.

And not only there, but in every press release and many prior emails to 
this list.

Logic?  Yes, there is logic in this decision and it's based on 
licensing issues.
