Censorship

Like others, i listen some of the Clear channel radio stations at Internet, im outside of U.S. and clear channel keeps trying to make us imposible to listen online,Clear Channel has banned all IP outside U.S.A.

i listen since year 2001 one radio station called KIIS-FM the last cuple of years, i was forced to use some of my tech knowledge to avoid the restrictions, and this way, i still listen the radio stream, making my way through every new form of restriction they implement time to time.

cause of clear channel changing again and again the implementation of restriction, yesterday i wasnt able of listen, but i dont care, because i will find the way to avoid the block. but when i listen i hear they breoadcast telling they are broadcasting world wide... sure... if they say soo...

the banned countrys arent some, the banned countrys are all but U.S.

so its no about license restrictions... its about to censorship. for us outside U.S. i was traveling to some Europe countrys, some Asian countrys and some Latin America countrys, they block all but U.S. as they say at the message that apears when you click "LISTEN LIVE" link at kiisfm website and redirect to this link http://www.kiisfm.com/cc-common/access/request.php i not trying to access some strange or special content, i just want to listen the same as they On-Air FM broadcast live.

internet isnt a "world wide web", its just an "world wide censorship web"

Most streaming licenses explicitly forbid transmission out of the country. Knowingly allowing non-US citizens access to some streams would result in significantly higher licensing costs and penalties. In other words, it is not the broadcaster, it is the licensor who makes that decision. Compare with streaming video providers such as Hulu and you will see the same problem.

All positive for some reason

while i dont buy into the conspiracy theorys i enjoy reading about them (they are hilarius) and thats what brings me to a number of articals there should at least be a minor hint at the insane people even a one sentence "some say" with a reference to a crazy web site would satisfy
