Sony Music is suing online radio service Radionomy for copyright infringement – a company that just so happens to be a sister organisation to Universal under Vivendi.
In a lawsuit filed at a California federal court last Friday (Feb 26), a group of Sony brands – including Arista Records, LaFace Records and Sony Music Entertainment – accuse the service of violating their copyright on several counts.
In addition to owning Winamp and Shoutcast, Radionomy hosts 57,000 radio stations which are managed by its users – typically stations which broadcast for free online.
It also controls TargetSpot, the first digital audio advertising network in the United States and in France, as well as offering FM radio stations tools to develop and monetize their digital presence.
Sony is claiming the maximum US statutory damages amount of $150,000 per infringed track.
producers of shit music waging a war on internet radio. reminds me of another copyright crisis some 10 years ago when internet radio stations(digitally imported) and others went silent to protest some copyright rules from the royal copyright board. they want internet radio station owners to pay them money to play music
from my favourite radio station online

A while ago, the new CBR rates forced big stations like di.fm, to ban their free listeners. Even more, Live365 needed to stop their services. This all happened only a few months ago. Now the Radionomy network is under pressure.

A few weeks ago, TuneIn was probably forced to remove all Radionomy radios from their directory.

And since May 5th, Radionomy producers saw that different countries in the world are geo-blocked.
Unfortunately, Radionomy doesn't give us any information.
These countries seems to be geo-blocked:
Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, South Africa and some other parts of Africa Countries formerly in Yugoslavia (e.g. Serbia, Croatia), Turkey, Romania, India, Russia (except a few areas), Ukraine
Due to this decision, 50% of the listeners can't listen anymore.
(maybe a positive note is that Switzerland is unblocked today)
Let's us all hope that the small webcaster still exists at the end of 2016....
