Sep 22, 2016 2:27 AM in response to esoppby King_Penguin,★HelpfulContent is licensed to Apple by the content providers to sell on a country-by-country basis - content providers want control over where/how their content is available, each country therefore has to have its own store and you have to be in a country to use its store.
If a developer hasn't granted Apple a license to sell a particular app in the US you could try contacting the developer and ask them to do so, you could also try requesting it via Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html - but without the developer's agreement it can't happen

Sep 22, 2016 1:18 AM in response to jimrgrahamby jimrgraham,The reason why is that every country has it's own laws and restrictions also relative to tax. It would be great for us to be able to get international apps, songs, movies, etc... however, I'm not sure what is better - a "one world order, currency, and law"? or keep things separate so we don't have to have all the other attributes related to the above.

Sep 22, 2016 2:32 AM in response to King_Penguinby esopp,Thanks, answered my question but surprising that Apple does not require developers to grant such on an international basis. Apple's legal department not normally so timid. Anyway if Apple has a keen ear to their customers' needs they will put some effort into solving this to the benefit of its customers
