I live in Malaysia, and for the longest time, we didn't have access to the iTunes store. We effectively couldn't buy apps or music online from Apple.
To circumvent this, we could open a fake US account. Problem is, you can only purchase items with a valid US credit card. To circumvent that, some people went to the US, bought a lot of prepaid gift cards, and sold them here at a marked-up price. Then all we have to do is set up a US account with a fake US address (thank you, Beverly Hills 90210!).
