I feel for the French guy. I really do. When I was in HK, there were NO legal avenues to buy digital music. It was one of those things where the big MP3 stores didn't feel like paying for the licenses to reach such a tiny population, so to support the artist you had import physical records.
That said, however you go about getting it, one can't expect a site based in the US to stomach the burdern of potentially getting sued for hosting illicit material, even if it may not be illicit for everyone in every country. That is just unreasonable.
