Buying the single - 9/30
 

Ok, so it's 9/30 in France, and Mademoiselle Juliette is now available on virgin.fr, as well as iTunes France, and no doubt other platforms as well. Has anybody located one where we can legally purchase it from the states? Virgin still won't allow non-French purchasers, and iTunes is the same way.

Your guess is as good as mine....if people like RMJ can't buy it yet, just about nobody outside of FRANCE can't buy it. :(

Odd... I can't even see the song on iTunes France. Is it simply not up there yet?

The whole thing seems crazy to me. We are all dying to hand over the money and no one seems to want it. What purpose does it serve to deny paying customers the product?

It's there. I feel like Tantalus. :mad:

I even tried putting in a fake Paris address and phone number, but it won't accept my credit card. I think that's the first time I've run into a business that doesn't want my money. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know how to pull up a list of French download platforms? All I can find are iTunes and Virgin. Maybe there's another that will be easier to deal with.

Edit: Espire, I found it by doing a search for "Alizée Mademoiselle Juliette," not that that did any good -- but it IS there.

I don't think it's just the download sites themselves. I suspect there's something to do with the record companies coordinating which songs/albums are released where, how royalties are dealt with, etc. etc. Probably the laws are different enough that the company has to deal with the money from a "single bought in France" differently from a "single bought in US", and if they don't think it's worth it to set up the infrastructure, then they just won't do it. Bites to be us, in that case :p

whaht i hve told for weekk+? thy don t wnat let us buy...

if you nwant it... .start do somthing aboit it !!! i cnt do alll mjy own.. .

I emailed RCA US about it...I got no reply. You emailed RCA Finland, they told you "sorry". I don't feel very powerful about influencing the record company's decision where to release a single for electronic download. Maybe they have to do some upfront investment to Apple to get on the iTunes catalog in each country and they don't think they can break even on the American market or something. Who knows.

Well, we got em to put her on the Itunes U.S. so let's spam them again. Let's make it one of our operation diggs, only for now it's Operation Iwanttobuyalizee'snewsinglefromtheustunes, lol.
