That's the tagline that greets you when you visit globalPandora, which touts itself as a way that people that are not located in the United States can access the free music streaming service Pandora without having to futz with a web proxy service.

First things first: It works, at least from here in Canada. We haven't been able to verify from other non-U.S. locations, but since Pandora is most definitely blocked here in the Great White North, we feel pretty comfortable that it will work elsewhere.
Now, enjoy it while it lasts, because it's extremely unlikely that globalPandora will be allowed to exist for much longer. On the other hand, now that it's been done once, it's pretty likely that once it is shut down, globalPandora clones will pop up to replace it. Music - and all data, really - that is free somewhere will eventually be free everywhere.
