Hi, Ron. Actually, this means the effective end of independent American music-based Internet Radio. While the day may come when this American precedent may be followed in other countries, that day is not yet here, and whether/when it will come is an interesting question. Again, the history of copyright issues in other countries does not seem to indicate that this will be followed, at least not soon and not with the same kind of enforcement. While I agree this is a very bad event for the internet radio industry in the United States, and that it is against the interests of everyone except perhaps the short-term interests of the record companies, I think calling it the end of internet radio is rather strong.
