Hopefully once the beta’s over, I won’t see this message on most videos. The potential for the app is incredible, however, intriguing! “The content you are trying to view is only available in certain areas.” I like Yahoo! ’cause it usually has great options for Canadian users - something I can’t say of any other music/web service.

Internet radio wont die but it will move to places offshore where artists wont get paid. Hardly a great outcome for anyone." In which case the RIAA/SoundEx could sue their ISP's to block their streams from US netspace or get their pals in Congress to apply the methods the Chinese use to keep unwanted sites or streams out. “I think this is one of those cases for the labels where I would say “Be careful what you wish for”.

I think that this issue illustrates the strategic mistakes that record labels continue to make. They should be welcoming and embracing internet radio where they get paid. Instead, sticking with the CRB decision will result in less money to artists and labels from internet radio in aggregate as stations shut down and more movement to music listening where labels and artists dont get anything- namely broadcast radio and file-sharing. I think this is one of those cases for the labels where I would say "Be careful what you wish for". Internet radio wont die but it will move to places offshore where artists wont get paid. Hardly a great outcome for anyone. Ian,
