Certainly, it's all about price controls.  But the point is that I would 
have been willing to pay any reasonable price, but it's simply not for sale 
to me, even if I was physically in Japan while trying to download it for 5 
times the price.

Perhaps I should get a VISA gift card, then proclaim that I live in Japan. 
I don't think they could/would try to prove otherwise at that point.
