I’m not sure how Apple controls which countries a show is available in. I’ve had this complaint from someone in Southeast Asia as well and don’t know how to respond. If anyone knows where the ‘switch’ is in iTunes, let me know! I’d hate to think that the show can’t be heard in ALL countries worldwide!
