Apple iTunes gift cards unusable in EU

Nothing new, but I’m very upset that I can’t use my birthday present my sister and parents gave me: an iTunes gift card. They bought it through the Belgian iTunes store, but they didn’t realize I couldn’t use it since I live in Germany.

Just now I asked Apple through the ‘feedback’ feature what I shall do. I wonder when I’ll get a rely..

Maybe we should get the music industry before court? This is barely legal. I can buy anywhere in EU music and take it home with me. Just not on the iTunes website?

The bullshit that there are different laws in different countries doesn’t hold up. I can buy CDs (it’s digital information btw) at amazon.co.uk and let them ship it to Germany.

Anyhow.. We’ll hack around it, as usual.
