Open dbrgn opened 8 years ago
Thank you very much for your effort so far! The console client really meant something to me.
Note: So far, Orochi still works for me.
@dbrgn I'm always around if you need a maintainer! I'll help in any way possible
@mindstorms6 cool, feel free to pick up or triage any open issues :)
Can do!
Still works for me with a Swiss IP.
8tracks are essentially blocking out all non-US and non-Canadian users starting today:

I asked whether this affects people based on their IP. It does:
This means that starting today, Orochi will cease to work outside the US or Canada.
8tracks started out as a likeable, very "different" streaming company. Their legal basis was that they could operate as an online radio by imposing some limits on playlists and playback. It worked out great. They had a great app, a great website and friendly support staff. But it seems that politics and copyright / money have gotten in the way.
The following paragraph is part of their blogpost:
To me, that's just empty marketing-speech. We need less barriers in the internet, not more! Country boarders should not interfere with the usage of the net.
TLDR: If you're based in the US or in Canada and want to continue the development of Orochi, please let me know! I don't feel like investing more time into this project.
