Pandora RIP in India?



Kya hua tera vadaa? Gaayab? Sniff sniff. Now what am I gonna do? If you can't read the text, here's what it says
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

As if Websense wasn't enough, as if iTunes saying no to India wasn't enough, as if Go going Hindi wasn't enough*, as if Worldspace's steadfast refusal to launch car audio wasn't enough, now Pandora says sorry to India. Well done. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.

* - ok, ok so Fever's got English music, but they refuse to move from Enrique, Justin and Shakira. Boo.
