    New laws for british web radios?

    or FAO brits...what is this shit that private web radios located in the UK need to cut their listeners from outside the country off from listening to their program from April on? As far as I understood it in the news I have read, they have to buy the right to stream their music to listeners outside the UK and if they don't they need to take care that noboy from outside the UK can login to their stream. How will this affect Dance radio stations from the UK? Can somebody from the UK please shed some light on this?

    If that is true, the internet is being restricted. Can they just do that?

        That sucks. I really hope that is not. As long as I can still get my digweed mixes every week I really don't care what they do.

          For Christ's sake Tom, use the search function.

          Found on http://www.kurthanson.com/archive/news/031706/index.asp "A clause in the PPL's new license for commercial UK broadcasters may result in the shutdown of those stations' Internet streams to listeners everywhere else in the world beginning April 1. The PPL (Phonographic Performance Limited) is the music industry
