Streaming music service Pandora will be introducing IP address checks to stop non-US users from accessing the service later this month. The popular service has so far failed to gain licences to operate outside the US, and has always been officially an 'America-only' service. However, to date it has simply asked users to provide an American postcode in order to prove they are US based, and as anyone can make one of these up, it continues to be used widely outside America. However, from 15 Jan it will become more strict on access to fall in line with record company demands. So if you're a Pandora fan in the UK, you've got until 15 Jan to get your fill.
