Help me download music (legally)!

Sign in to disble this ad
So I'm trying to pick up Bireli Lagrene's Electric Side (Bonus Track Edition) which seems to only be available for download in Canada and Europe. The Amazon and iTunes sites for those countries won't let me download it because I'm in America. Any ideas on how I can get my hands on this? Why won't they just take my money ?

I put this in OT because it's not really about music just the logistics of getting it, lol.

Spoof your IP address?

Have you tried... NVM what the hell is with people not having an actual website?

Find a friend in Canada, send him the cash for it via paypal or some other method have him download it then FTP it to you?
legal as it's gonna get. Oh make sure he promises to delete it.

write the artist a letter or email?

Yea, that's lookin' like the plan right now. I've got a few friends in Canada and the UK that might be willing to help out.

Maybe not 100% legit but at least the band gets their money.

I probably would have just stolen it to teach them a lesson about electronic distribution. J/K

Lol, that's not even an option considering how underground the record is. The thing is almost impossible to find normally!

What about the CD?
Amazon.com: Electric Side: Bireli Lagrene: Music

It's only missing the one bonus track, or is that the most important song?
