Hi guys,

I know people who have iTunes accounts from different countries i.e. UK and US because the stores have different content on.

Is there anything wrong with this? I'm from the UK and was wondering if there is anything illegal about getting a US account. I mean I'm still payin for it so whats the big deal???

I know I'd have to put a random US address in etc.

Thanks
 
It is against the iTunes Store policy to do so, so, yeah, I would say there is something wrong with it. But if you are the type to pirate software or use it in a way not consistent with the EULA (ever used a single license disc on more than one computer?), the you might not think it is wrong. However, in that case, you'd probably be more likely to pirate the music anyway.
 
I don't consider it wrong at all and in fact I have thought of doing the opposite of what you are doing. I agree with your point that iTunes is still getting the money because most people I know use Limewire but I pay for my stuff. So go ahead. :)
