The Last.fm software doesn't have country restrictions as far as I am aware. I don't know any of the details, but understand (from a friend of a friend that works for Last.fm) that a different licensing regime comes into play when you are talking about a hardware player rather than web browsing/software player, making it necessary to agree licences on a country basis. Essentially, you need a transmission licence rather than a webcasting licence. I don't quite follow this myself as surely both use the Last.fm API in the same way, but it's not something I know a huge amount about and this is a second hand explanation! Anyway, that's the reason that's been given so I guess it's just a question of wait and see which countries can be added. -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?
