I was looking for the album “Symphony for Dot Matrix Printers” and it seems to be sold out everywhere it is sold. Several places linked me to itunes, but at itunes it says the album is “not available in the US store.” Why would itunes make something available just in the US store? Anyone know where I can get a copy of this work? Thanks -FRL- ---

Neither of your links helps. I already googled the thing. That’s how I discovered I can’t buy it anywhere. The first site I went to _while googling the subject_ was in fact the first site you link to. I hadn’t seen the slashdot article, but then, the slashdot article neither tells me where I can buy it nor tells me why I can’t buy it. Since those were my two questions, and since neither of your links has anything to say about either question, it turns out your post was completely useless. The implication that I wasn’t smart enough to use google to find the site belonging to the makers of the symphony–the completely unjustified implication, the implication that was clearly not true after even just a moments reflection, considering the content of my post–was insulting. -FrL- ---

I found a copy on eBay for under 12 bucks (before shipping), so if you keep your eyes open, you’ll be able to get a copy pretty easily, though it may take a few days for more copies to pop up. And geez, you may have found the first response unhelpful, but your response to it seems a bit nasty, IMHO. Anyway, good luck with your search. ---

My apologies. I jumped to the conclusion, since I was reading some old threads that have that sort of problem. ---

> [@Frylock](#): > > Why would itunes make something available just in the US store? It’s not Apple’s fault - I’m sure they’d love to have as much music possible available everywhere. The recording industries of various countries, however, see it differently for some reason. ---
