Until recently it was possible to download (& pay for of course!!) hi def audio from HDtracks. Now (if you are UK based) a message appears informing you that your IP address is preventing you from purchasing downloads. Is there a (legal) way to get around this? A way to (eg) present a US located IP address to the HDtracks server in order to allow purchase to take place? Thanks

The license HDTracks have is limited to the US so selling to other countries is illegal

OK thanks... so an unequivocal "illegal activity" presumably some licencing issue.
So, a follow-up. What UK alternatives are there? Has anyone on the forum used a UK based site for downloading music in FLAC or similar? Please don't suggest iTunes.

I thought that there were a few options given in the thread I linked to but I didn't read all of it

Hmmmm... one or two but a little esoteric and nothing like the range offered by HDtracks.Thanks for the link anyway.
I get the sense from other postings/forums that it's the record labels that are imposing restrictions on where the music can be downloaded to. Seems anachronistic to have this geographic limitation. I understand their desire to protect revenues but surely they could structure a regime that allowed people to legitimately (re)buy their product (having probably bought it 3 times already - vinyl, cassette, CD etc) globally ... No wonder illegal downloads flourish. I don't condone, but do understand. Grrr
