Rather late in life, I'm trying to come to terms with iTunes, or
other sources of downloadable films.
Take "Barry Lyndon", for example. I life in France, so cannot buy
from amazon.com, and iTunes only offers a version dubbed into
French. I have nothing against French, but everything against
dubbing. amazon.fr does not sell films, except those engraved on
the shiny little disks our grand-parents used to use, and no doubt
if it did, they would all be dubbed. virginmega.fr sells the
English version, but with sub-titles. I don't want sub-titles.
vod.fnac.com sells the French version.
Are there any (legal) solutions? I am assuming that on the
subtitled versions you can choose between having the subtitles on
or having them not off.
if you have a credit card that's billed in the US, you can set up a
proxy that's got a US IP and access iTunes or Amazon in the US that
way. And pay with the American CC.
I don't, and already have more of that sort of stuff in Europe than I
can manage -- I live in one country, work in another, come from a
third and my wife from a fourth. But perhaps I could play that trick
in the UK, where I do have what it takes, apart from the proxy...
thanks for the idea!
