I'm tellin' ya... Internet radio is goin nowhere. Same as shutting down Napster not only didn't stop mp3 trading, but I think it actually INCREASED it..... all the publicity and everything swirling around Napster pushed alot of new solutions to the mp3 end user problem into the world.

The same thing happened when the governemtn tried to control all encryption.... look at us now. We got some heavy duty unbreakable shit out there because of good ol' Uncle Sam's greediness & paranoia.

And the same thing will apply to Internet radio if they try to shut it down.... there will be home spun Internet radio stations popping up everywhere. And no... you don't NEED Shoutcast to broadcast, it just makes it really close to plug & play for the mindless masses.
