an EC2-based proxy for spotify?

A chat from this morning, prompted by the apple + lala post.

friend: Spotify just needs to launch in the US
me: or i need to move to the uk
friend: I can't believe somebody hasn't figured out an ec2/europe proxy thing for it yet
me: someone probably has. and they're just keeping it to themselves and their friends.
friend: ask on twitter? :)

So, has anyone done this? An persistent EC2-based proxy that gets US users into Spotify? (If I were really motivated I guess I could use this post on how to create a personal proxy server on EC2 as a guide...)

There are IP address spoofing services that might work--my mom uses one to watch BBC television on the web, since that's blocked in the US due to "BBC America" (which no cable service actually carries.)

The BBC is blocked everywhere apart from the UK because only people in the UK pay the TV license fee.
