It's all about making sure power stays with the big companies. A bad tactic, as without good web radio services, people will just resort to illegitimate sources. - Chris Nixon

the only reason i use Pandora is to check out new songs out there that i've never heard of or songs that i want to ID. I've bought 3 CD's this month after previewing on Pandora. - Mark L

I guess Last.fm being bought by CBS turned out to be a good thing, otherwise it could be th next "target"... - João Almeida
Have to agree. Radio in any form brings music to new audiences. This essentially free marketing for the record labels. This anihalation of Internet radio will only drive down CD sales even more. The recording industry will be in such a precarious situation that they will reverse themselves. - Roberto Bonini
The music monopoly is happy to drive radio out of business. They only they can afford to run their own radio stations (paying their exhorbitant fees to themselves). Then all listeners will eat what they're fed, mass produced music from the monopoly. - Indio Apache

I find the whole situation in the music industry completely absurd. I am in the middle of this fiasco as a music management company and label owner. This is ridiculous that Pandora are required to pay the performance and songwriter's royalties when radio station have been excluded from paying performance royalties for like 50+ years. And only now have they begun to chase after radio stations to pay the performance fee. Albeit to save face and not look like the bullies they are. - Dale Adams
This is about Control. They screwed it up 10 years ago when we drug their asses kicking and screaming into the Internet. Now every time someone invents something to bring the music to the masses the major labels start crying foul because they lose control of something that they had on lock. Now that distribution has been yanked out of their bratty selfish hands they want to start making small internet radio stations pay extortionist fees at the hands of the FCC ruling instead of a percentage of profits. Did somebody ask the RIAA what happened to all that money they've collected from Napster and the customers they've sued? If I was them I'd hire a PR firm and have press conference as I started handing out checks to the artists I was supposedly representing. There is nothing wrong with the state of the music industry except the majors want their distribution back. Your time of control is up. Keep trying to sell us your 8-track methods in a digital world. - Dale Adams
and I had just taken all of the music off of my jesus-phone in an effort to use Pandora that much more. I find this really irritating. I have gotten multiple new cd's as a result of hearing a song I really liked on Pandora. What more do they want from me? - Tim Wright

I don't use Pandora, but I've had similar issues with other sites, although I don't recall which ones. I'm actually using Firefox 3 for Mac (for me it's Command+T instead of Ctrl+T to open a new tab), so the bug seems to be cross-platform. - the JoshMeister
There is much discussion about whether the last cylon is on Earth, and might have used advanced, futuristic technologies to manufacture a Viper replica to send Starbuck back to the Galactica in. This scenario points to a highly advanced Earth civilization. But why exactly is she staring into that funeral pyre so intently? We already know, based on a shred of script that got passed around, that it's because she's found her old Viper — and her old body! And she's burning them. - Mark Trapp
