40% off selected Qobuz highres downloads

I sent the email to Qobuz yesterday morning and received this reply...

 

 

Hello,

Qobuz open to international but not in your country.

Only UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, NL, Belgie, Luxembourg & Irland.

Qobuz is really sorry because you received our message.. Our International developpement grow up and your country will be open soon.

 

So it looks like a false alarm so far...

Gang,

Here is what is going on. Qobuz was open to let many of us in the USA hop on their lossless streaming service by signing up our emails to an account in France or the UK (and deal with streaming from inefficient but often workable servers overseas). For those of us that have a UK server account we received emails that said Qobuz has started hirez download service "in our country" (which is technically true, since our country of service is the UK). Nevermind that our emails are in the US. They are not thinking that through, so it appears that they are implying hirez download service in the US, but they are not.

 

US service is Q4 at the earliest.

 

Except I'm only registered here in Los Angeles with no UK server account so my country of service is the US and I received the email also.

My situation is very similar. I'm just registered in Virginia, with no overseas account. I definitely have signed up to be notified when Qobuz streaming is available in the US, but nothing beyond that. I can only conclude the email was sent in error to those of us registered in the US.

I have to say — even though I'm not exactly Mr Law and Order — I'm a little shocked by these locality deals Qobuz seems to be making with a number of US customers. Bob, you know a lot more about IP law than I do, but this doesn't seem like a great course of action for a company that ultimately plans to have a legitimate presence in the US but hasn't yet closed all the necessary deals.
