• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi there

I'm a big fan of Lost, so was very pleased to see it was going to be available for download since i've missed a few episodes.

However, like many UK users, I was disappointed that at the moment its only available in the US.

Apparently Apple are working on the rights to make it available in the uk, does anyone have any idea on how long it will be?

I have missed a few episodes on TV, and I will be "lost" without them (Groan!) :tusks:

The iTunes Music Store took AGES to be available in the UK, hopefully video clips won't take as long.

The other thing is, when are iTunes and the Music Store going to change their names? It seems they are out of date names for a program/website that also allows one to download and watch tv programs etc!

Maybe they will integrate Quicktime and iTunes. Perhaps they could call it "iTime" (QuickTunes doesn't really work) iTime doesn't really sound great either, so maybe someone else has a better suggestion for new names? :confused:

Good question. I too am a user in the UK. Anyone have any ideas?
