I think the simple solution that they should go with is one used by other sites in the same situation. If someone comes in from outside the currently available advertising areas, ie, if they come from Italy, but Last.FM is only advertising in German, then simply swap in ads from Google's Adsense. Adsense is EVERYWHERE, and thus, if they can't earn money from previously purchased ads through their normal channels, they can just fall back on Adsense where and when necessary and the rest will take care of itself.

Why this change? And why so quickly?
Why it was free before, now it costs?
Ah well, I'll use xmms to listen to online radios then.. remove vagalume, a shortcut and that's it.
Bye bye lastfm

LastFM ROCKs...AND i would pay for that services.
The similarity functions works like a charm.
If you enter a artist, everything else sounds like that artist.
I LOVE listing to my loved tracks at home....at work I listen to other stations and add loved tracks.
And it doesn't play the same song over and over again.
not like yahoo.
not like sirius nor XM.
I need this BAD ***** in my CAR.

Don't worry atilla, I have a feeling they will be treating everyone "equally and fairly" soon enough.

| The Following User Says Thank You to TA-t3 For This Useful Post: | ||
The EMI guy had been in a focus group, discussing music trends with a bunch of teenagers. At the end of the session, he thanked them for their input and pointed to a pile of CDs, saying they could help themselves to any they liked.
To his astonishment none of the youths were interested in physical CDs anymore. The EMI guy said that was they day when he realised that the business model had changed forever.
Regards,
Roger
