The direct link from Shazam to 'Buy on iTunes" has been discontinued. However, once Shazam has identified the song, you can go into the iTunes Store (or another download store of your choice, such as Amazon Digital Music) and buy the song.


It is not a bug. The official document was updated on March 11 to remove the reference to "Buy on iTunes." See new version here:
