iTunes Music and Movies Debut in 16 Latin American Countries, Brazil Gets iTunes Match

It makes perfect sense. Latin America is the most underserved region for Apple, relative to its size and economic power. There are zero retail stores in the entire region. It's the greatest opportunity for Apple to expand, and Brazil has one of the world's biggest economies.
Additionally, Brazil is a musical superpower-- as an exporter of popular music, it may be second only to the USA.
Also, if today's slowness is any indication, they also have issues with load. iTunes Match here in the States has slowed to a crawl today.
Don't they know that LTD is from Canada? I would have thought that would make it a priority.
BTO was also from Canada. Hence the delay.
out in the Cold Canada
Again we in the great White North are in the cold no "iTunes Match"
So who do we blame it's not Apple! they would love to provide iTunes Match, more money for them.
So is it the Government of Canada and all it infighting with the inability to organize a snowball fight on a cold January morning! or the recording industry!
My bet is on the "recording industry" They would like to grease their palms
with more of my already stretched Loonie! We're such lame ducks here in the north, frozen lame ducks!

Come now, it's rather obvious who to blame.
Wow! That's nice!!! Now I have to prepare my Visa ( and my pocket, of course!!! ) Let me see what they have to offer...
Let me see what they have to offer...Trust me, with all the bugs you don't want it yet. I'm surprised and a bit disappointed they're rolling it out to more users before they've fixed some of the bugs.
I am confused by this. The only way I found to setup a Brazilian iTunes account is to have a Brazilian credit card. In other words an iTunes account is "Brazilian" because of the billing address. Can anyone explain how to setup an account with an international credit card?
After getting a new laptop and having all my music on my iMac I realize I want this. Come to Canada please!!!

Don't forget the beady little eyes and flapping heads...
EDIT: I guess Gasu E. beat me to it... ^_^

I can't believe you don't know what international credit card means.
So let me explain: Some credit cards can't be used overseas. Only in Brazil.
Therefore, you need an "international" credit card.
I have an Itaucard Mastercard and it's international.
iTunes Match Brazil
The iTunes Match here in Brazil is functioning perfectly. Yesterday, I bought many items on the iTunes Store from a PC and when I got home, everything had been automatically downloaded to my iPad. Nothing to complain about.
They say Apple's next move down here is the launch of 2 Retail Stores in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Brazil is the only country in South America that has the Online Store (it was launched in 2009).
