You'll need to set up an account in the UK iTunes Store, or change your existing account from the French iTunes Store to the UK store.


And no, Apple understands the Internet quite well. Most people, however, don't understand how copyrights and rights ownership vary from country to country, making cross-border sales at this time generally impossible.

If you buy a pair of jeans in the US do you have to take the plane back The UK with just your underpants?

It applies to all content, free or otherwise. And yes, you can change the country of your existing account, as I mentioned you could do. But it can cause issues with your existing purchases made through your French account. I suggest setting up a new account in the UK iTunes Store.

Underwear isn't subject to copyright laws and the need to obtain licenses from the various rights holders who are in most cases different in each country.
