Missed the point entirely John. You do not need to go to North Korea, just join iTunes, pay forty percent percent more for content than other people do in other juristrictions just because they tell you to. And once you have acquired a lot of content, it is not easy to leave it behind. I am not against profit, gouging is another mater. Unlike you I had the misfortune to live in an oppressive communist regime, and hence I do not like absolute power.
