No they're still going but have decided, I'd imagine for cost reasons, to
come off satellite. Still broadcasting loud and proud via the internet..

Yes a bit mean spirited really - If people really do not like the quality or
content then no one is forcing them to listen just ignore them and move on
to something more to your likeing.

Its not BROADcasting is it. Its the listener opening a TCP connection
to a server and downloading a stream so how exactly pray is that
BROADcasting?? Its no different to downloading any other data except
it doesn't have a fixed size.

Broadcasting is a one-to-many form of communication where many
receivers all receiver the same information from a single source.
Internet radio is therefore a form of broadcasting.

Downloading an MP3 file consists of one user downloading a file from
one source at a time unique to that user. Downloading is not
broadcasting.

The only reason you don't want to classify Internet radio as being a
form of broadcasting is because the streams are currently still using
unicast. Once they switch to using multicast (which consists of a
single stream being received by multiple receivers, not one stream per
user), would you still object to that being called broadcasting? If
so, why?
