As you probably know, the Australian iTunes store is sadly in the middle ages...offering little more than a small cross-section of commercial music, the free video podcasts, and iPod games. We don't get ANY of the movies, television series, or animated series available, so tantalisingly, in the US store. So I get to LOOK at all those mouth-watering US Sci-Fi series, but not buy and download them. Keep me off bittorrent (joyfully region free)! Get me Joost now! Do your part against media piracy!
