Q: Why are some songs/albums available only in the US store?

Why are some songs/albums available only in the US store and not the Israeli store?

For example the song "Dragonforce - Through The Fire And The Flames"?

The Ringtone AND Music Video are both available but the song is not...

I can't see the logic behind this.

 

Please help me find an answer to this question.

 

Thank you,

    Because whoever holds the distribution rights to that content in Israel has not granted Apple the right to sell it there. Licensing is on a country-by-country basis. Contact the Israeli distributor of that content and urge them to make it available in your country.
