It's not just American's who can't buy music from any other country. It's the same all over the world, and there are even some people who can't buy any music because they don't have a store.

It's all to do with the licensing.
 
that really sucks hope this goes away one day

If there's a foreign piece of music you really want, downloading from gnutella/whatever or buying a cd over the net are really your only options.
