You can download from HDTracks. Yes, I know, they say they won't sell to a Canadian address.All you have to do is open an account with an "imaginary" US Address and use Paypal to buy what you need.
There's nothing illegal about it, you're not breaking any laws or committing any crimes.
It's worked fine for me on the few occasions where I've downloaded from them.

the offerings are incredibly thin. Very little is truly available.
What we need is the universal ability to download at least CD quality.
If I could download and album with CD quality for under $10.00 I would never buy hardware again.

Actually I did manage to sign up and download quite a bit of music from HDTracks until they figured out that I was a Canuck. But to be honest the selection there is pretty meagre and I managed to get most of what I wanted from them.
Now I want to see a selection like iTunes provides, but hi-rez. According to the article (rumour) the hi-rez downloads will only be $1 more than the current pricing. Lets hope so.
Also it appears that Apple was getting 24bit files from the record companies for years now.
It's just that the same record companies refused to let Apple sell them in that format.
If you care to remember Apple wanted to sell unrestricted Redbook or better from the get go but the record companies insisted on DRM and mp3.
If Apple get the go-ahead from the powers that be Pono will be dead in the water.
The good thing is that my ageing ipod is quite happy to play 24bit files although it does not go higher than 48k.
