iTunes apps not available outside the USA? What’s with that!

I just saw a fabulous message on Facebook about the Weeds app. Fabulous. I click on the link to take me to iTunes, try to download it, and am told something along the lines of “this app is not available in your country”. HUH!!!! I can’t stand this kind of nonsense. I kinda can get it with DVDs, although not really. It’s the same thing as why phone companies don’t all use the same kinda connection cable for your phone. Why should I have to buy a new cable every time I upgrade my phone? And even if it’s a phone made by the very same company as my last phone! It’s just weird! So now, I have to wait down in little ol’ Australia for the app to reach our shores. I hope the ship has a smooth journey across the oceans. I reckon I should set up camp at Docklands and wait! I mean, how insane is that!

Does anyone have a really good explanation for why this is the case? What’s with the regions! Why I can’t buy the Weeds app here in Australia? It’s even a free app! And by “really good”, I mean one that has merit, weight, one that makes sense. Not just the reason someone from tech support in some Asian country gave you.
