They've just (last hour) restricted to "US only". Big shame, loved the service from here in the UK.

For all you Lawers and Biz-Dev people who keep crying for a developer to help them do their next 'web hit'.

How about taking your skills and trying to find a way to bring media (music/video) to the 6 billion people who do live outside of the US ?

Now that would be a real startup !

It's not binary, the choice isn't "US or everywhere else". It's getting one country at a time, and the US is, arguably, a better place to start with.

I also noticed this just now. I really hope they will fix these licensing problems as soon as possible, but I wouldn't count on it.

I loved turntable... I don't know how to cope with this newly discovered grief. How am I supposed to move on with my life, when I know that tt is still alive and well for some users!?

I will proceed to take this as a personal insult. An attack on all of Europe. A declaration of war. To arms!

This sucks! I was using it just a few minutes ago. I am so sick of the music industry and their retarded licensing system.

Yes, this is very sad. I was really enjoying this.

For the time being, it seems like that would open up an opportunity to launch a similar product in the UK with local licensing. Get to work!

Well as much as it sucks, I am sure they would have gotten into legal hell otherwise. Thanks very much to the current copyright system.

Go play with Spotify ;)

Spotify is only available in seven countries. I have access to neither :|

In that case the pirate bay, et al is probably your best option...
