    Wait for my pm :)

    Thank You sizzla. Joining the group now. Though I don't know what we can do about it :(
    Anyways, let's hope it does create an impact atleast on the TA members who resort to piracy.

    we can do this? I'll try this right on ..

    on another note, I disagree with Balu when he says that piracy isn't bad, but I do agree that by limiting sales to certain countries does give piracy some kind of popularity actually ..

    I mean, why can't every countries have the same fair treatment? I can accept the fact that Wolfenstein is not being sold to German due to some sensitivity, but Civilization? Myquest? MGS? Why this is not available in my country (which is not german btw) ..

    Yeah, I know it's symbolic, but if it becomes the biggest group on TA, and if mods and admins and other high profile posters join, I think it says something about the forum. I also think that word could possibly spread throughout the developer's community that this forum takes a hard stand against actions which undermine their hard work.

    is it against the rules to post the info on making an account in another country?

    if not, can you just post it?

    ...oh and joined the group!

    Don't know for sure. But I'd rather not talk about in a public forum as it is against Apples Policies. Anyways this is really simple to do and you don't really need any instructions for it. Im sure one can easliy find the instructions if they google it. May be we can add a link to this info in our group's description.

    You can't PM him because he is in time out and he should be banned. Anyone who does this should be banned. Joined.

    Thanks to iPodLady for the sig idea...I'm hoping this will raise the awareness. I'm also hoping that mods/admins will join as well.

    What a novel idea. So instead of stealing, you decided to do something constructive? Amazing. Honestly, I understand that apps missing in countries is a frustrating thing, but it shouldn't necessarily lead to stealing. I'm sure if it was solely up to devs, the games would be released everywhere, but there are licensing concerns, etc. that prevent it. That is a good thread, BTW.

    +1.. If you can't purchase a game because it's not available in your country, either wait until it becomes available, or create an iTunes account for a country in which it is available. Many people (including myself) have done the latter.

    There is also option C. which is: accept the fact that you can't currently play the game and move on. I'm pretty sure life goes on without an iPhone game.
