Farewell Pandora
« on: January 16, 2008, 03:34:18 PM »
"Dear Pandora Visitor,

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative."


Gutted - Pandora has introduced me to quite a few bands I would never have normally considered.

Will miss it

You can't use a proxy to get around it?

Something like Tor?

Sandman, their website says plugins like Java or Flash can leak info.  Can you say what plugins the Pandora website uses?

I just tried using at work here, and it still works for me...  Must be something with our network setup through corporate that gets around the country filter?

The news about Pandora was that they had closed access from outside the US.  If someone could say what plugins the Pandora website uses, I'd appreciate it.  I could give Tor a try and see if it allows those of us outside the US to use Pandora.

Pandora has been closed for 6 months at least if not more for users outside US.

Try last.fm or deezer.com for a replacement. There was a pandora-like site that let you tune on a genre and listen too but I forgot the name.
