And I thought it was quite nice that I got sent an email from them apologising to me that I could no longer illegally use their services.

Which was nice.

guys
honestly this is a great site Nessmp3.com: home some great local, national and international talent. great radio streams where you get your music aired across the globe. they are keen to link in with the aberdeen circuit and join up the aberdeen area as they are highland based

can you not just put in the whitehouse zip code...? (i.e. pretend you are listening from the US? or have they got some fancy ip detection where they stop the stream / site if they see it's from the UK?)

I love how you say you don't like a track, and without a word, it shuffles off to allow the next contender to take the stage. I feel like a Roman emperor. Take that, Bob Dylan! Ah, Procol Harum. Yes, you may stay. Nice shirt, by the way, Gary Brooker. Yes, I'd like to see you here again. You're very much to my taste.

"no I don't want to hear that"...
5 mins later, another track from the same artist...not so good.

this started out as a "music genome" project, where the writers of the program were looking to get "styles" of music defined by people, then, intelligent searches of "similar music" could be refined...

I read about it in the new scientist a while back now.

That's exactly what people do at the moment to listen from the UK and the second part of your post is exactly what they're going to do to stop it.

I should join a retrospective think tank...
I hear there's good money in it!
