radio.garden (and many others) got neutered in the UK courts by Sony. Offensive, short-sighted, Balkanizing decision.
I haven't bought a Sony product since the rootkit debacle. My only regret is that there's not a "boycott++" mode for the damage they did with that decision.
- cobbzilla 3mo ago> radio.garden (and many others) got neutered in the UK courts by Sony Do tell more, I’m very curious— am I unaffected in the US? I haven’t noticed a big change in the past several years. What happened?
- Folcon 3mo agoIt seems that radio stations outside the UK cannot be listened to, can you listen to any stations outside your country?
- cobbzilla 3mo agoyes definitely, don’t even need a VPN. I can stream/listen from anywhere in the world on radio.garden I’m sorry the UK cripples your streaming. That really sucks.
- flir 3mo agoCan't find a good summary link. Maybe this one https://www.rpclegal.com/thinking/entertainment/court-of-appeal-upholds-copyright-infringement-decision-against-digital-radio-aggregator/ https://www.rpclegal.com/thinking/entertainment/court-of-app... is a good starting point. radio.garden feels like spinning an AM radio dial late at night (which is how I discovered John Peel as a youngling). It's a lovely thing, verging on art, and should be treasured.
