Mar 9, 2014 4:11 AM in response to Percuby King_Penguin,The restriction is there at the requirement of the content providers - they license their content to Apple to sell on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store and you have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to use its store. You can try requesting that the album be added to your country's store, but unless your friend and/or the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Jan 5, 2015 9:57 PM in response to dot.comby gail from maine,Depends on what you mean by "losing access". If you have the music in your iTunes Library, then as Niel already indicated to you in the other thread, the music is yours to use as you wish. If you have it in iTunes in the Cloud, and do not have it downloaded, then you will not have access to it until you sign into the iTunes store for the country where you purchased the items.
