You CAN get round these scumbag lawyer restrictions stopping people from listening to BBC football commentary provided you can log on to a server in the UK. If you have a colleague in the UK or you are from the UK and currently overseas set your HOME computer up as a home server If your remote machine is Windows enable RDP (remote desktop connection) on it and open the relevant ports (can't remember the correct one but google RDP) On the remote machine connect again via RDP to your home server. If the IP address is dynamic - no problem use no-ip (FREE at http://www.no-ip.com) - also for Linux users.
Logon to your home server, enable sound transfer to remote computer, start Windows Internet explorer / firefox and then you can listen to the BBC radio content without a problem. For Linux similar procedure but you probably will need something like tight-vnc to access the remote Linux GUI. I travel a lot and this works for me every time when connecting through the Hotel's Wireless network. Bandwidth these days is more than adequate in most places for vocal audio streams.
