I've had the same problem. Some digital labels are gay like that!!
They want to control the area by which a track is received. A label in europe may have a partnership with a label in north america, so the north american jocks would have to use the label closest to them. The reason for this is probably to better conduct distribution and promotion within the given territory and to control piracy. It only happens to the signed tracks that have a huge demand though.
You might be able to buy it if you spoof yourself; ie you can fool beatport and make them think you're in europe by using a proxy server within the allowed territory. |

you can't do much about it...
try with audiojelly.com (good collection) or dance-tunes.com (not expensive but no 320kbps)
those are my top 3 stores
some people on TA were discussing about this before and i think you could work around the territorial thing depending on what internet browser you use... or was it by changing something on your proxy server ?!?!?
whatever |

Nope, I don't!! But if you find out I'd like to know.
You can probably find a free shell account on a unix system in europe and lynx(web browser) your way through beatport under their address. I wonder how beatport would look like under a 16bit app though. |

its also about the territory itself... for exemple, i couldnt use a canadian visa in morocco to buy stuff from beatport... so you might need a european credit card

i seriously doubt they limit the sales of songs by IP region
prolly by CC
btw to connect thru a proxy
- http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q...nG=Search&meta=
^^ find one that works (by running it thru ur browser, if u can open some page, it works)
- look for connection settings in ur browser options .. and enter it for HTTP
in Firefox,
Tools > Options > Connection Settings > General > Connection Settings > Manual Proxy Configuration >
enter the IP in HTTP Proxy and the port |

it means that beatport does not hold the rights to sell the song in canada.If you look at closely, many tracks are released on different labels in north America than they are in Europe.Spoofing or using proxies will not work.The only way is to google the track and find another digital provider that has the rights to the track. |
