… and not one of them to an Australian billing address (ok, one or two may have slipped through when there was a backdoor open).

Whilst the problem is likely due to an Australian based record label rather than Apple, there are some doubts with that theory – like why do their overseas parent companies have no issues? and how come Bigpond Music can manage downloads in an Australian market?
The problem in Australia may be a record label, compounded with a lack of effort on the part of Apple to resolve the issue.
At the moment, I am loathe to buy music on CD or download, until Apple’s iTunes store opens.

I’ve been dirty about this for a while. We were told last October that Australia would be included but it didn’t happen. Then we got a tip that it may happen in May to coincide with the release of Russell Crowe’s internet only album (how they could have missed that opportunity defeats me). I feel we are being overlooked because we would only add another 2% of their already huge coverage. Sure, cover the major bases first, ie USA, Europe, etc, but don’t forget the little guys, we like music too.
