Does anyone know if I can use a season pass when traveling abroad?

Can I download (buy) movies/shows/music from abroad with my US account?

If I give gift certificates to friends in europe, will they be able to redeem them? will they work on the US or european store?

thanks
 
If you have a US Account, you can log in anywhere and download/listen to whatever you like. But if you download the latest episode of whatever to a computer based in that country (say a friend or relatives), bear in mind that'll count as one of the machines you're 'authorised' to play the file on. I think you can select 5 machines altogether, so it shouldn't matter too much.

A US gift certificate can't be redeemed by a European Account. However, if the recipient creates a new account for the US iTS, and merely gives a fake address when signing up, they can access all the US content such as TV shows and movies. But it's a violation of the T&C. So, don't do it... *tsk* :rolleyes:
