Though something like that might scare enough people outside the indie stream to lead to change. I hereby call all indie bands, netradio broadcasters and indie lovers to live with me in Vancouver. We can be nomads! And if Canada f's it all up, we'll just move on, gathering the sympathetic as we go! Very digital pied piper. ~christopher~ I like it, but chances are you’d only see the US courts allow China-style url/ip blocking at the service provider level.

Probably not the greatest solution, but when you look at the big corporations -- including the media conglomerates that make up the RIAA -- headquartering themselves at a mailbox in the Cayman Islands or Vanuatu or Liechtenstein when they don't feel like following U.S. commerce laws, it might be gratifying to beat them at their own game. Well, it's just a fantasy of mine, at least.... --Jay in New York Have you considered broadcasting from a proxy server somewhere the copyright laws are a little friendlier?

I have enough music that I get off of p2p networks to keep me satisfied...why whould I want to dig through the GARBAGE on radio, when I have a decent collection of songs? And if you think new music is so great, then YOU go and listen to it! Go lean how to use p2p orr keep your mouth SHUT, because YOU obviously don't know what you are talking about when it comes to p2p!

At best you can find some mixes and collections of artists on P2P, and that doesn't even come close to the breadth and quality found on stations like somafm. In your statement you are essentially supporting the limitations attempted to be put upon you by the RIAA. Clearly you are also missing the forest for the trees on this issue as well. For god's sake lean how to punctuate as well (or perhaps you'll suggest that why would you want sgood inglish skillz as well?).

Then they will be the ones getting all their music heard rather than the label artists. So maybe the stations can still be on the air without going broke, and new artists could benefit big-time. Not that I really want to see the label artists themselves hurting on account of this but maybe this could be plan B for the stations that can't afford the new rates.
