Wake me up when Netflix moves outside the US. (To add to that list: Pandora, Hulu, Spotify. Atleast last.fm is available as a paid subscription option.)

- ig1 16y agoSpotify and last.fm are both European
- cabalamat 16y agoAnd spotify only works in 7 EU countries, due to copyright laws.
- ig1 16y agoNot really due to copyright laws more down to licensing rights, historically licensing rights have been sold on a per-country basis. If it makes you feel better the record companies hate it too, I know the popular fad is to blame the music industry, but there's so much legal red tape over contracts it's actually very hard for them to innovate.

The whole copyright-based legal infrastructure needs to be torn down and new ways to pay artists need to arise which don't rely on freedom- and innovation- resricting laws.
- mzl 16y agoThe Spotify situation is very interesting given the open internal market for services in the EU.
