Amazon.co.uk has imposed an odd sales restriction on some compact discs, refusing to sell them to customers outside the UK. Amongst the titles affected are "The Hollies-The Clarke, Hicks & Nash Years". Also affected by this unexplained restriction: some CD's by Roy Wood(both solo & with Wizzard) and most CD's by "Queen".
In the meantime, Amazon.co.uk's 3rd party "Marketplace" sellers will still cheerfully sell these CD's to non-UK customers, as will Amazon's U.S.A. & Canada websites and their 3rd party sellers.
My view is that if Amazon.co.uk won't sell the British CD's that I want, I will quite easily find someone else that will sell them to me.
Does anyone know the reasons behind Amazon.co.uk's odd new policy? |

I am in the US and have noticed an increase in things like this. Most notably, I cannot download some mp3s off of Amazon because of UK copyrights. It is silly because I am legally trying to buy the product. This is true for a lot of the Hollies downloads. Also, youtube has been blocking more stuff in the US saying I can only see it if I am in the UK, which seems totally ridiculous.
This is the first I have heard about actual hard media issues though. |

On the page where you view the product it will say "We are unable to ship this product to your default shipping address" |
