As of June 20th, 2002, SomaFM was forced to end their broadcasts by the RIAA or else pay $15,000 a month in royalties. I'm not 100% sure on UK stuff, but "the standard" (below) states that UK law is just as strict as US law on copyrighted material. Lots of info on the web but nothing useful 
Some Links http://www.saveinternetradio.org/ http://www.thestandard.com/article/d...,20294,00.html http://www.internet-law-library.com/
I'll keep ya updated.
