The expensive solution would be to go to every country and try to buy an iTune song from there. If anyone wants to underwrite my attempt at this, let me know!
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

“Not dead yet!”
Shir, this is perhaps backwards, but here's a link to an iTunes overview that lists the countries that receive iTunes and when they received the capabilities.
On a slightly different note, here's a list of countries that were slated to receive the iPhone, but that didn't have the iTunes store: [link]
And here's an article about the iTunes App store, that talks about partial stores that are in the process of being built and Israel is on the list.
Don't know if any of this will help.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thanks, Barb! Your links hits much closer than my first - quite desperate, I admit - searches. As I thought, more countries without iTunes access than the ones with it.
I know about the so-called-Apple-store in Israel. That's crazy. Most of its clients will be people who illegally got themselves Apple products or got it via 5th hand. Or just hipsters.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Okay, nobody warned me that Forever the Sickest Kids were the most ridiculous band. They're even more ridiculous than Metro Station, y'all.
Oh my god, they are so not more ridiculous than Metro Station. but they are indeed ridiculous. I had a quick chat with Jonathan, the lead singer, and they've only been doing it for a year. I'm pretty impressed with their ability to rile up the crowd.
