A couple of days ago I heard someone speculate that SpiralFrog had been given up entirely by its backers

With that said it's quite annoying with yet another discriminating site (like Pandora) only for American and Canadian listeners

Oh well, it doesn't matter really anyway considering all the DRM of SpiralFrog

We all know now how to use Tor or other proxy services don't we?

You just have to sign up using an American IP. After that you can login and download from any IP..

It's all WMA and DRM but it's free so I'm quite happy with it.

I sure know how to use proxies - it's more the principle of it. Why do you have to be American/Canadian? It's all rather discriminating

I signed up to Pandora using a UK ISP but my brother in law's postal address in the US. They don't seem too focused on checking details, I think they just 'go through the motions' on the application screen.

No doubt my access to Pandora will mysteriously stop having written this

That's the way music licenses work. SpiralFrog has been licensed for the US and Canada. The still have to make deals with copyright organisations in other countries. Not their fault, blame the music industry, they make things harder than they have to be.

BTW the DRM can be removed using this file

Thanks, HaMuse - but you can get all known DRM-removal .exe-files/tools here: Remove DRM protection

It's just that I won't waste any time removing DRM.

DRM should just lay down and die instead

First of all If Spiralfrog does not let my fellow Members in
the site I have no interest in using it ...
If their licensing agreements excludes some that is
a bad agreement that I do not support...
And any free download that includes DRM ..I still want
no part of it.. there are other ways to listen to music for free
on my computer without putting up with their corporate
restrictions..For me the price is way to high for "free"
music.

Edit: and I hope that Link in your signature is about using
legal bit torrent sites.
