  I really fail to see the logic in this business model. If someone wants
to buy a piece of music, why should it matter where he lives? Imagine if
this happened with real stores as well:

Customer: "Hey do you have this CD on sale?"
Salesman: "Let me see... Yes, we have it. It will be 500 yen."
Customer: "Great, I'll take it. Here's the money."
Salesman: "Can I ask you your country of residence?"
Customer: "I live in the United States, I'm just visiting Japan."
Salesman: "Oh, I'm sorry, but in that case I can't sell you this. You will
           have to leave the store, or I'll call the police."
Customer: "???!"

  Great way of making money.
