Thank you, Zack, for the tip. Since I had never downloaded anything from the iStore, I went there to download the piece of software to which you referred. I was quite shocked when I read their terms of agreement.
1. I speak both German and English, so it was no big deal when, after indicating that I lived in Austria, everything reverted to German. I know lots of expatriate English speakers living here who might have had problems. Not such a big deal for me, however. 2. What I found extremely disquieting, provided I understood their terms correctly, is that I can only make purchases while in the physical boundaries of Austria. Their terms state that they have technologies for ensuring that orders originate from the country where one is registered. So that means, provided I understood things correctly, that if, while visiting my parents in the States, I couldn't download or purchase anything from the online store. It sounds rather "big brotherish," if you ask me. I wouldn't even mind paying Austrian taxes when ordering something from their store while outside Austria, but it seems (and I probably need to reread their terms of agreement) that this is a bit over the top. Once I get all this worked out in my head, I will most gladly download Telephone, provided I agree with their terms.
