It's due to the licensing regulations in the US. Spotify don't impose listeneing limits in the US because they are allowed to - in the EU, they have to impose limits to follow their licensing regulations.

I can't do that, I don't work for Spotify. Blame licensing. Not Spotify.

Can´t blame, they keep in silence. Spotify is an example, but there are many more.

Nothing personal LaimW.

iAugusto - The US hasn't had any limitations since we launched. We haven't changed anything there.

As I mentioned in the other thread, it's entirely down to licensing. Each country has different licensing agreements. That's why there are more limitations in the UK and France than, say, Portugal.
