Locast shut down

Posting for those who may not be following what's going on with locast.

Locast Nation

As a non-profit, Locast was designed from the very beginning to operate in accordance with the strict letter of the law, but in response to the court’s recent rulings, with which we respectfully disagree, we are hereby suspending operations, effective immediately.

Thank you.

Not sure how many of you use this service but hopefully it gets cleared up.

Does anyone even glance at the new posts before creating their own thread?

So I was only trying to be helpful. I'll take down the post, thanks for the useful commentary.

Guess they are done for good.

I hate being right,..but i had qualms over their legality and sustainability back when i first heard of them when i first started using Channels, to which many here jumped to their defense swearing that they were 100% legal and never would be shut down. (which is documented in a long locked tread or two.)
I found their service quality sub-par, but for the couple channels that my Antenna could not get reliably, was quite useful and made a great record source for those needing much smaller files.
