Re: [Swprograms] Radio Australia via the 'Net

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Radio Australia will not be streaming again until all of the cricket 
coverage ends in mid-January.  This has to do with copyright 
restrictions and concern that the system used to stream ABC programs is 
not secure enough to prevent some international users from accessing 
cricket coverage (which is legally available online in Australia) and 
exposing the ABC to liability.
