Canada...
It would be nice if we could get the same launch dates as the US, were not that far away! It is getting better though...I do feel sorry for the Europeans!!

Forget the UK. All you poms ever do is bitch and moan about your VAT tax and paying more for stuff. Boo fricken hoo.

No, we actually have fiscal conservatives in power here.
The Canadian economy fared quite a bit better than other G8 countries during the past few years.

Our dollar is stronger. I've also heard of Americans looking for work up north after suffering layoffs in the US.

with our stupid Music-Rights-Organization in germany (GEMA) it is pretty safe to assume that it'll take ages before they would ever agree with this.
Chances are, we'll never be able to use iTunes Match... would have been too nice, too logical for those grabby Rights-Abusers.

I feel I've learned a lot about the Canadian economy today.
Just to test whether it works both ways, I've emailed the World Economics Journal asking whether iTunes Match is a defacto streaming service or a "simultaneous listen and download" service.
I'll let you know when I get a reply.

Yeah, right!
Come on everyone. why not try taking a rumour with just a little bit of caution and common sense. The fact that the replies from different people to persons in different regions are so similar sounds very much like it is the standard corporate line. I seem to recall similar phrases coming out when TV rentals were announced for the
TV, and look how that turned out!
This is probably no more than the standard corp. response to this question. Notice the use of the word "hope". That typically means "Yeah, it it works out, then we'll look at rolling the service out to *insert country/region here*". It's not a promise that it will ever happen...

Heh, almost. Might be easier if you guys would stop talking of build a 4,000 mile wall. Mind you that would create a lot of jobs so it's not all negative.

I guess match is working okay now, netstrada or 4saleusa offered already service for match in any country
