    i suspect it is like that in many markets .

    If you think Sweden is too small, what about Belgium, with it's 3 different language communities That said, I can easily see an EC-wide service being viable, especially as I look at the different nationalities present in the audience at Belgian music festivals.

    I'm in South Africa. There is no legal way for me to purchase mp3 from international artists. Don't even think about flacs... There are a couple of local music only mp3 setups. Why are they insisting on borders when internet is global phenomenon?

    Borders are even more outdated than ipv4. But they're going to take much longer to replace.
