Using USA iTunes from UK

What free software would allow the use of the US version of iTunes from the UK? I guess if you can hide your IP address then you'd be ok?
Thanks

    you also need a credit card that is registered to a US address, that is the major issue i think you would have.
    If you can get that then you can use iTunes US from any PC.
    Ever stop to think and forget to start again?

    Thanks,
    I didn't realise that. However, there are other things limited to US users so I'd still like to know if the above is possible.

    rhapsody is the real music offering, but would seem from adm's post that he wanted to access sites filtering by us ip address.

    As woo said its not just your IP but your credit card, this was mentioned on the gadget show early this year when they tried to use the cheaper French Itunes and they couldnt use it because of the credit card restrictions.
