Ehm, you mean like you have a UK iTunes-program on your computer or something?
Can't you use Windows Media Player or do you not have Windows?

I also have a issue with a Digital Copy actually:
The one for 'The Incredible Hulk' won't play in any way.
I even contacted Universal's special DC-support but even their suggestions don't work.
Only now I see this thread, is that because it's a US-release perhaps?

It's not a huge deal, I just wondered what it would look like on the computer.
Since I don't have a BD-player in the computer, that's only thing I could use a DC for...

All the Digital Copies i have work fine on Windows Media Player thats not the point my wife and i both own ipod touch's and like to watch movies when we travel. I can't see no reason why we in the UK or Europe can't put American Digital Copies on itunes once the movie became's available in the UK & Europe. At which time The Code with the Digital Copy should then became universal.

Unfortunately, Apple's licensing agreements prevent cross accounts being created in iTunes. They use your IP addess to determine your country or region and you can only create an account for your country or region.

I tried setting up an Australian store account but iTunes redirected me back to the US store.

Back to the licensing thing...

The digital copy is not licensed to be distributed worldwide since a film can have different distributors. For US releases of iTunes compatible digital copies, the digital copy is only licensed and authorized to be distributed in the US.

Thank You for the info it just annoy's me that America have over 40 Digital Copies & the UK is luck if we have 10.

You can create a US iTunes Account, follow this guide (use any US Address, Apple's works wonders )

Meh, I refuse to use any software or hardware that has anything to do with rotten fruit.

You can't trust it you know. XD

Then I guess I'll just leave the DC for what it is...

My PC is Windows with iTunes. I already have to American Digital Copies on iTunes these are FOX titles that are now available in the UK with Digital Copies FOX were kind enough to give me UK codes and they work fine. I can now put American Digital Copies on iTunes but i just can't watch them or put them on my iPod Touch.

That is nice and all but did you authorise your account in iTunes, if you didn't I don't think they will play (only DC I have wouldn't play unless it is authorised).
