The music industry is officially retarded

So I decided, for no particular reason, that I want the album "Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds", the 1992 solo release from the ex-Guns'n'Roses guitarist. It's a great album, and the only reason I didn't buy it back in the day was because my buddy had it and we just listened to his copy. I guess these days record execs would call that stealing.
The CD is out-of-print, so all you can get is a Japanese import or a used copy. That's fine, I don't really want a CD that I'm going to rip once and then stash in the closet'o'junk for the rest of eternity, anyway. Check iTunes, check Amazon, search the web - *nobody* has a downloadable copy. WTF? It's an obscure album, but it's not *that* obscure. 
So I'm poking around the web some more, and I discover that it's available on the iTunes Ireland store, but not the US store. OK, that's pretty stupid, but whatever. I'll pay for it in Euros and eat the currency conversion, I've got a ton of iTunes credits from gift cards, anyway. "Oops, sorry, your account is for the US store, not the Ireland store." Really, Apple? WHAT FUCKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?? 
And then these jackholes wonder why people download shit.
