If you are travelling out of the country and you want to buy apps or rent movies on iTunes, are there any limitations? If my account is US-based, but if I'm in Europe, can I still rent/buy apps/movies over an internet connection from abroad?

I've run into this limitation before - I remember Steam wouldn't let me buy a game while I was in Poland a few years ago. And I know Netflix and Hulu wouldn't let me stream when I was out of the country... does Apple have any similar limitations?

Thanks for any advice

Edit: For what it's worth, I did search a fair bit on Google and I saw people say that it worked and then some who said it didn't work. Some that said it's tied to the credit card on the account and some that it's a violation of the terms of service (clause 10 specifically).

I live in China now but have a USA account with a USA credit card. I have zero issues buying anything and I am linked to the US store. I travel all the time, I have never had an issue in any country buying apps, music or video.

In China, I have full access to iCloud.
