Sure Pandora is worried about the artists...

Submitted by travispaul138 on Thu, 07/16/2009 - 5:43pm

I enjoy Pandora and the radio.  They are different in that with Pandora you select the artists you want to listen to, but on the radio you are stuck with whatever they play and you have commercials. 

Pandora's problem is the same as a lot of internet businesses, a questionable business model and multiple competitors.

I feel sorry for unestablished artists if the radio stations have to pay more.  Why play an unknown artist when you will keep more listeners by playing bands such as Metallica, Led Zeppelin, etc.

Nothing would make me

Nothing would make me happier than to see some music industry exec actually do this.  Their business would plummet immediately--and maybe then we'd see real change with an industry that has demonstrated nothing but contempt for music artists, music fans, and every facet of the music industry.  The 'modern' music industry is unchanged from the business model used 50 years ago.

It's time for it to die.

If radio stations had to pay a royalty for the music they play, they won't play it. Those staions that are already struggling to get by, will go under. 90% of all the songs in my library I originally heard on the radio, with this "play Tax" new and old stuff that I might want to go out and buy. How long will it be before my car is declared a mobile radio station and I who originally bought the CD from Wally-wolrd will now have to pay a royalty for playing music that can be heard beyond my ears?

uh i think pandora has no say what so ever.   How long has the radio been broadcasting music?  And how long has pandora been streaming music?  Pandora can't come into the scene and say radio stations need to change.

that the radio stations should pay at the same rate that Pandora does. Maybe more especially where I live because it's nothing but a bunch of shit stations that play all that useless shit music from the top 100 charts all the time. CD Player ftw.
