    don't misunderstand what is happening. the usa is a "test" market for riaa
    and other organizations to see just how far they can go with policing
    copyrights. europe will be the next target, trust me on that.

    additionally...

    where do you think all the bandwidth is located? i've yet to see any high
    end streaming organizations like shoutcast outside of the usa. there is
    most likely a reason for that, besides the usa's way over popularized music
    media circus. it (may?) have something to do the lack of bandwidth to go
    around. i guess what i'm saying is take away some of the largest pipes in
    the world and it's not gonna be the streaming hey day of old. it wasn't but
    2 or so years ago that EVERYONE in the us was complaining about skipping of
    music and lack of bandwidth. now let's play that on a worldwide scale.
    fun. =/

    maybe i am just a little ignorant about the pipes overseas. please someone
    fill me in.

    maybe, but who wants to be the RIAA's version of Dmitri Sklyarov?
