How to legally buy US TV show to send to student overseas?

This is your oddball question for the day. I am in the USA. My daughter attends an international program at a university in far northern Germany, and it's master's thesis time. The prof assigns the thesis topics to the students. They have no choice on their topic, as I understand it, and I'm getting the feeling he relishes making it as hard for the international kids as he can.
Her Finnish friend has been assigned to write her thesis on the philosophy of some American TV show called The Bridge. It is not available on DVD yet, and no release date given, however, it is available on both Amazon and Itunes. Amazon's CSR says she can't download it from an overseas ISP because it's only licensed in the USA. I'm assuming it's likewise for Itunes.
It's my understanding that if I download a show, and make a copy or a backup to send to her, that she must have my original Amazon or Itunes password to access it, even on a DVD, and I'm not real thrilled about sharing that with some kid I don't even know. But she's in a pickle.
I thought of buying her a used Ipod Touch, creating a new iTunes or Amazon account, downloading it here, and shipping it to her there, but this seems awfully convoluted. Does anyone have a creative, legal suggestion? This student has little to no budget to work with, and I'd like to help her out, since she has no contacts in the US, other than her best friend's mom (me).
Same prof assigned my daughter a thesis topic on books that are so rare and HTF we are scrambling to find them in any country. But at least they're BOOKS! Good old paper books do still have their advantages, it seems.
Any advice appreciated. I'm quite sure there's ways to do this piratically, but I'd like to keep her on the legal side of things, since I assume she may have to show documentation or source material to her professor at some point.

Google on dvr to Mac. I just did; it shows, for one thing, that different software may be needed depending on the provider. Many reads showed up after doing the Goobgle.

    how can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?
    I have used a local visa card and I cannot buy movies or tv shows on Apple TV as I get a message saying that I have to buy them from the Jordanian iTunes store!!

    It does seem a bit off that the rules are that stringent....
    This is not a decision made by Apple.
    It is made by the copyright holding music or television companies and is part of the contract with the recording artist or program producer. They make the decision as to what territories are distributed to and what territories are left out.

  • How can I buy full episode of tv shows if I don't have storage room on my ipad

    How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

    if you buy a tv show or a movie on apple tv how do you get it on your itunes

    For TV Shows click on iTunes Store in iTunes and use the Purchased quick link on the right.
    For movies, you can't download from there.  I thought you could only rent movies on AppleTV2?

  • HT5035 Itunes gift card balance can't be redeemed. Amt shows in Itunes store, 4 items in my wish list.  But no options to buy/purchase them. Only options: "Gift, tell friend, share or copy link"   How do I buy from wishlist using unused balance?

    I have a balancer on an ITunes Gift Card But can't seem to make purchases with this balance.  I saved 4 items to my wish list but when attempting to purchase/buy I am not given the option.   All I see is Gift This Song, Tell a Friend, Share on Twitter, Share on Facebook abd Copy Link.     Last made a purchase in June 2013 without any issues.   How do I buy music using the unused balance on my gift card?    What has changed?   

    You need to click on the price, not the downward pointing arrow next to them, that should allow you to buy them - the 'buy all' button that used to be on the wish list screen has, for some reason, been removed from the current version of iTunes, so you can only buy items individually

  • How do I buy cds from united states

    I livve in sweden and want to buy cds from the united states over the itunes but it dont seem possible. Someone that knows how i can buy this music??

    Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
    In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
    a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
    b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    .......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

    Not clear whether this via device or you have gone to "My account" on Nokia Store upon PC and added credit card there, in which case only Nokia account password would then be needed to authorise payment.

  • How can I buy jam packs for Garageband 11?

    Does anyone know how can I buy jam packs for Garageband 11?
    I purchesed MainStage 3 & installed it but no jam packs are showing up in Garageband.
    I believe Main Stage 2 had jam packs which could be used in Garageband, but I cannot find anywhere where I can buy & download MainStage 2.
    Thanks! )
    Amanda

    When you say you had to "run" MainStage 2 once - what does run mean? Did you have to open it or do anything else to run it?
    I only launched it to be able to access the main menu bar and open the download panel.
    I still downloaded these individual instruments but they do not appear in my Garageband loops or anywhere else on my iMac.
    Have you rebooted the system after installing the additional content?
    You should see additional instruments and loops in the system library  (Your Macintosh HD > Library). Have you checked the following folders:
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/ (for the loops)
    and
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
    /Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments/
    Perhaps you need to rebuild the Lopp Index, if you find the loops somewhere and they do not show in GarageBand:  Rebuilding the Loop Index in GarageBand
    Silly question, but you have checked, if no filters are set in the Inspector, right? The top of the Info Panel  should be showing "Show all" and the search filed be empty.

  • How could i buy unlocked iphone 5 from usa

    how can i buy legally unlocked iphone 5 form usa

    Factory unlocked iPhone are not yet for sale in the USA.  Apple has not announced when (or if) they will be available. When they are available, they will be sold only to a USA billing and shipping address.
    The best you can do now is buy a full price "no committment" phone from AT&T, become an AT&T customer (1 month minimum) and ask them to unlock the phone.  Note that the AT&T model  LTE frequecies that only AT&T uses - you won't get LTE service with any other carrier, in any part of the world even if unlocked

    Itunes verifies your account using your billing info.
    If your credit shows in the top right side of the itunes store, then it will take it from that balance.
