I understand your wanting all of the SB's features. But taking the attitude that "if I can't have it then no-one should have it" seems a bit childish to me. :) In reverse, some Internet Radio feeds (BBC comes to mind) are also region restricted and not available in the US. So Slim Devices should ban all BBC feeds worldwide to make it fair? Again, seems silly. The real restrictions come from the record companies, EU & US trade agreements regarding copyright laws, lawyers in general. If Slim Devices authored (or knowingly allowed) IP spoofing they would be opening themselves up to a BARRAGE of law suits. But, again, I sympathise with you as you are indeed missing out on a lot of great content. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41626 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
