"We do not have a licence to sell this track to your home country!"
Just tried buying this track and they apparently can't sell it to me because I'm an american. (The track is "Dougal & Gammer - Don't Stop" for those of you who don't want to click on the link)
I can't find a good reason why you'd restrict release in certain countries.
This sounds the most like it on imodownload but with the words "(Radio Edit)" I'm not sure if I should just get that one instead. If you guys could help me find anywhere else to buy this track it would be much appreciated.

Yea that also already happened to me! Mainly with Drum & Bass. I tried to purchase the track somewhere else, even on Amazon, but I always got the same message.
The very annoying thing is that on trackitdown it doesn't tell you, you can't buy it (afaik), it just doesn't get added to the cart, no matter how often you click on the "add track to cart" button.
First I didn't understand what was happening, later when I saw that message on other sites, I understood.
I don't know where else you could buy the track, you could eventually ask Dougal or Gammer if you could buy the track directly off them ( they're cool guys so I'm sure you will find a solution ). Or maybe it's available somewhere else, but the chances that you get this message again is high.
I can't search now as I'm not at home and I'm on mobile. I'll check this out tomorrow if someone else hasn't by the time!
Cheers :)

Welcome to the world of DRM, copyright protection, blah blah blah etc etc etc. :( All I can suggest really is doing what Revs said; asking either Dougal or Gammer directly.
Also, don't grab a radio edit. It may be the same song, but it's length WILL have been truncated severely for radio purposes.

I tried to buy Star Pilots-"Heat of the Night[Dougal & Gammer Remix]" off TID, and it told me that since I'm in America, I can't buy it.

If its a UK store it would be illegal to not sell to you. Were on EU after all.

I'm not sure but I think I played this track on my show yesterday, and I got it from an unmixed album, so you could eventually buy the whole album! I'm pretty sure it was this track.

I know TID had all the full length verisons up from Hardcore 2009, but I was restricted in buying it.

I feel your pain as I recently tried to purchase two tracks from junodownload and it gave me the same bullsh*t
The two tracks in question were "Girlfriend - Darren Styles Feat Whizzkid" and "Rain" (I forget who did and remixed it, but it was the one on the most recent Bonkers".
