Amazon.com will not ship the LE to Europe!


Dear Mads,

Thank you for writing to Amazon.com. I am sorry to hear that the
software you ordered will not reach you.

Unfortunately, pending clarification of federal regulations now in
place regarding the shipment of computer software products outside
the U.S., we have temporarily discontinued shipping software titles
overseas.

Please note that your credit card has not been charged. Since your order
will not be able to reach you because of the federal regulations I have
cancelled your order.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may
cause. We value your business and hope that you will continue to
shop with us at Amazon.com.


Best regards,

S. Walker

>COMMENTS: I have pre-ordered Civilization III Limited Edition Tin two
months ago, and now I hear that you "Currently not will sell this item
outside of USA", I live in Denmark, Europe, but when I pre-ordered the
game the country Denmark was available. My question is: Will you ship the
game to me? At my order page, it say that the "Game is still not
shipped...", but will it soon, or what?
>Many people in Europe are confused about that. Please answer back. Thank
you!

That's odd. Can they explain why we, in Canada, received both versions without problems?

Perhaps EBgames will send the game to Europe...
I am still waiting.

Just checked my order at amazon and it said: Shipped on November 1, 2001

I guess they can send it to me...

Will this ban apply to ALL software?
It will be devastating for the American software industry.

Great for foreign companies, especially the Chinese pirates.

The great Microsnot will never stand for it.

Surely it cannot be true?
