Question about itunes movies...

Has anyone in the UK or does anyone know whether there has been any success with UK users downloading movies or tv shows from the US itunes store using itunes vouchers bought in the US?
I believe some people who have credit cards registered to a US address have been successful so I was wondering wnether the vouchers would work!!

Not according to this article from Dec. 2005 that includes a picture of a letter from the iTunes store.

I'm sure I read somewhere on this forum that you can buy US itunes vouchers from ebay, set up a new account and download from the US store that way. Anyone done this?

I would be intersted in hearing if this works so if anyone does it please post!
