>Apple have done a really good in 2003 job at keeping Europeans in >the loop. Let's hope that in a month or two (they might be piloting >the service at the moment) they expand it globally My bet is that it has a lot more to do with DRM and A**kissing RIAA, than a business decision. Copyright laws vary from country to country and a big part of the success of this is keeping the recording industry happy; without that, Apple has no music to sell. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
