US Internet radio stations must shut down overseas

General Asylum

General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

US internet radio stations can not legally broadcast music outside the US unless they have an international license - which does not exist - or purchase licenses for broadcast within specific countries.
So, Pandora is the first biggie to shut down overseas as of tomorrow. I have heard that this is easy to get around from a friend, but it may be illegal in your country of residence: Either get a proxy IP from a US address or use anonymous browsing software.
I have been a dedicated CD buyer up til now. No longer.
