I had been wondering when the iTunes store would offer an affiliate programme. I discovered today that they have had one for some time, but only for the US store. Since I live in Spain, by default I see the Spanish store. This is presumably due to the fact that music licensing restrictions mean that each country is like a sealed compartment. (The whole DVD zone stuff is similar - and don't get me started on that one).
Anyway, while checking out the US site, I noticed a free download track ("Galang" by Mia - about which there is a lot of buzz right now) - so I clicked and followed through the dialog boxes, giving my .Mac ID etc. Then I get to the bit where it says if the billng address of your credit card is not in the US, click HERE. So like a fool, I click. It asks me what country I live in , and then it drops me back to the Spanish store. Sans free download, of course.
Then again, I could always fire up Acquisition and get the track for free just the same. Who could blame me?
