iTunes: item is not available for playing or purchase in U.S.

[lowfreq]

Ok...Last I checked I am located in the U.S. and there are some things I bought in iTunes I am told I can not play and cannot purchase that I've already purchased.

One of these is "Me and Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin, the Pearl Sessions. Its been in my library forever and it now just disappeared. what the heck is going on?

I just had this happen with a few songs. I figured with one it was just cancel culture but some others didn’t make sense. The only thing I can think of is they fall under copyright or trademark disagreements at this time. If you did truly buy a song, you can add it back to iTunes or now, Music, pending it exists on your HD somewhere.

Some that fell under this situation recently.

Cole Swindell - Right Where I Left It
David Allen Coe - If That Ain’t Country
Dwight Yoakam - Guitars, Cadillacs
Eagles - The Girl From Yesterday
Metallica - Mama Said
Walker Hayes - Don't Let Her
