Identification of IP address location

[Tom Burke]

There was a brief discussion a couple of weeks ago about the iTunes 
music store 'knowing' your country of origin, and accepting/rejecting 
your custom accordingly. Various people were wondering 'how does it 
know?'.

I have no idea if this is the answer, but I came across this website 
this afternoon:

http://www maxmind.com

They reckon their database is 97% accurate, which might explain the 
correspondent who was rejected by iTMS despite being in the USA.
