The Phonographic industry, the group representing record companies in the
UK, are to make it impossible for radio stations to stream audio outside the
UK. A clause in the PPL's new license for commercial UK broadcasters may
result in the shutdown of those stations' Internet streams to listeners
everywhere
else in the world beginning April 1.

Sounds like there needs to be a lobby group set up quickly!! Any volunteers?

If you want very nice streaming audio that is positive and encouraging

Methinks the BBC is not party to the agreement you are referring to. They
are unaffected, I hope.

Other than the obvious April Fool's reference,
the fun part would be that the argument of
streaming internet broadcasting to more people
than shortwave would become moot.
