The U.S. store does not have much access to artists that are big in other countries, but not here. For example, folk/pop artist Marit Larsen is currently a rising star in Norway, with her debut album Under the Surface going platinum in just a few months following its release, and Marit winning a Spellemannprisen (Norwegian equivalent of a Grammy) for Best Female Artist. (Maritlarsen.com) Her album continues to sell well not only in terms of CD sales, but also in sales on the Norwegian branch of the iTunes store. But despite her massive popularity in her home country of Norway, it is not possible to buy any of her music in the U.S. iTunes store because it is “out of the region” of a Norwegian based artist. Potential iTunes customers are robbed of the opportunity to purchase music like Marit’s that are popular in other countries, but are deemed not within the right “area” for people to purchase said music. Customer’s world-wide should have the same opportunities to access the same content that their neighbors in other countries are able to access, regardless of language or location. This would serve to not only give customers equal footing in terms of where they stand as customers, but also give every iTunes Store user a chance to have the same opportunity that a user from a different country has.
