A few days ago it made the rounds in the intertubes, and I’ve even made a post about it here, that there was a website enabling non-US residents to use music streaming service Pandora.com.

Somehow I wished that Pandora would pretend nothing was happening and leave globalpandora.com alone.

Pandora is restricted to only broadcast music to the United States, due to the DMCA.

But Pandora is abiding by the rules, and has deniability of the whole globalpandora thing.

By ignoring the middle man Pandora would be able to once again reach the entire planet without breaking any laws.

But unfortunately for me, Pandora has blocked globlapandora’s access to their service yesterday. I went to the site to take a screenshot for this post and lo and behold, it’s working again.

This will probably drag for a few weeks in a cat and mice game. Pandora block’s the ip’s, globalpandora gets new ip’s and is back up.

But sooner or later Pandora will probably take legal action in the form of a cease and desist and that will be the final nail on globalpandora’s coffin.
