Ministry of Sound Downloads... No love for the U.S.?

So what's the deal? No download of the Max vs. Yes single at M.O.S. for people in the States?

Can anyone explain this to me in terms that will make me think it's not crazy?

Yeah man. I tried to purchase a track from Beatport the other day and it said not avalible for download in the US. F'*#ing Weird, huh?

It might be some licensing issue that they need to resolve - that's why they have different record companies in each country. Crazy - yes - the lawyers will be happy.

I'd like a legal mp3 of that track too, maybe I'll give it a try (in Canada here).

I was wanting to buy some tracks from hedkandi.com (they're in UK) and had other problems - they give zero information about the download file format (mp3? wma? bitrate?) and don't reply to email queries. Digital downloads are just a sideline to some companies and they don't know how to do it right.

You guys could use a proxy server hosted in like, the UK or Holland and get it that way.

Tried it... Billing address issues...

I just really want a decent copy of this track, I have an AWESOME vinyl rip of it, but it still doesn't sound as good as it should... Plus they have all the remixes up...
