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…)
