Unfortunately, that's exactly it.

You remember when they lied to us trying to make us believe how much better a single market and a single currency would be for us? They did not actually mean "us". Hell, I have to jump through hoops to purchase French music and ebooks when in the States AND when in Germany. Only way to do it is via Hide My Ass and a completley different account. Such a hassle, it would be tons easier to just torrent my content.
