Well today is the day it's supposed to be blocked to the rest of the world. Anybody unable to access it ?(he says listening to WYWH on Pandora while typing away).
I must admit I never got an email about it.

I got the email but I haven't checked yet.
Can't be arsed at the moment. Will have a look in a couple of days and report back... over.

I didn't get an e-mail but when I tried to access it this morning I received this message:

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.

We believe that you are in United Kingdom (your IP address appears to be 00.00.000.00). If you believe we have made a mistake, we apologize and ask that you please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you are a paid subscriber, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will issue a pro-rated refund to the credit card you used to sign up. If you have been using Pandora, we will keep a record of your existing stations and bookmarked artists and songs, so that when we are able to launch in your country, they will be waiting for you.

We will be notifying listeners as licensing agreements are established in individual countries. If you would like to be notified by email when Pandora is available in your country, please enter your email address below. The pace of global licensing is hard to predict, but we have the ultimate goal of being able to offer our service everywhere.

We share your disappointment and greatly appreciate your understanding.

Sincerely,



Tim Westergren
Founder
Enter your email address and we will let you know when Pandora is available in your country:

Bugger, what am I gonna clean up to now?  >

This blows because, among other reasons, several tracks from A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd are up on Pandora

Well that's that then. Bollocks! >  I just tried to access Pandora and it's as Debs said above. I hope the licencing is sorted out soon as I should think a LOT of people outside the USA listen to Pandora. F**kin music industry lawyers....... >

Not happy! Can you tell?

This incident is likely attributable to non-American lawyers and laws.  We have a compulsory license for internet radio that may not exist over there.
