Life / Is there an iTunes Music Store for those living in Poland? [11]

Probably not. I don't use iTunes, I thought you could buy iTunes tracks online by going to Apple's web site.

I thought it over and realised that sending your credit card details using a proxy like that would not be safe, because the connection from your computer to the proxy would not be secured.

According to the article I read in Wyborcza, you can buy iTunes gift vouchers on allegro.pl (which is a Polish equivalent of eBay; you can try eBay too).

Yes, and if you teach English as a private tutor on top of that, you can make some extra cash. I knew an American guy who only did that and was quite well off, at least in Polish standards.

Unfortunately, for Apple some countries are better than others. It seems that Poland falls into the worse cattegory. There was an article about that on Gazeta Wyborcza's website a few days ago. You can buy iTunes tracks in Germany, France, UK etc, but you can't in Poland. It is against the EU regulations to differenciate between member states in such manner, but Apple justifies themselves saying that due to intelectual property laws in Poland it is impossible for them to sell iTunes tracks to Polish customers. Obviously, they are not trying hard enough. The only think you can do is to stock up on iTunes gift vouchers when you are in an Apple-category-one coutry.

It just occured to me that you could use a proxy server to access American website. One proxy that comes to my mind is (www-goes-here)hidemyass.com . On that website, type in iTunes shop's address in the box and you will appear to Apple's server as someone logging in from the US (i think that's an American proxy).
