I should also add this Note: Signing up for an iTunes US account with this method does break Apple's terms and conditions, you need to be aware of this.
Terms And Conditions: http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE> "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
