I can't agree more. I have had to go through the same to buy music. Most popular music sites do not give their services in my country. I tried iTunes, eMusic, lala, spotify - they are just not available in my country, though they all claim to be working "feverishly" to correct this.
In India most CD's available are of artists I just don't enjoy - Britney Spears, Black Eyed Peas, Megadeth, Bryan Adams etc. - all very mainstream and (in my opinion) boring.
I know I can always order real CD's online but I find the shipping costs expensive. Hence, when everyone is raving about the new Animal Collective CD the only option left for me is to head over to Pirate Bay! I pointed this out to the above sites but they seem unable to help because of rights issue.
