Apple notes that off-store downloads work only inside the EU, and disappear if you stay outside the bloc for more than 30 days.

Assholes.

    I wonder if Europeans should have a case when they want to do 31 days of business travel and Apple cut off their apps.

    Anyone know the whole range of the enabling technologies for the geofencing?

    Look at the nearby WiFi networks, check GPS, see what cell towers are around, (Apple account registration location)…?
