Pandora should just say, this is what we'll give you, if you don't like it then doing sign on. musicians are like a giant union of egotistical cry baby pussies. They bitch about people downloading music from torrents then when something like pandora comes along and is fucking awesome they get pissed when they can't have a giant slice of pie. Those 125 artists should go make their own station and charge a shit load to listen to it and see how that works out |

Meanwhile Sirus pays significantly less royalties. The artists and Pandora need to sit together or Pandora should choose not to play the music of the artists who are being unreasonable.

There are a lot of talented starving musicians out there who never had a break because they weren't the right material to be shoved into the pop machine to be formed into some commercial mass marketable garbage that was easily shoved down everyone's throats.
Plenty of them would be happy to take a fraction of the royalties Pandora offers to these assholes. The internet is leveling the playing field and letting people know there are millions of other options out there for good music and all these millionaire rock star pussies aren't happy about it. |

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's done that either. Seems to me that would off set some of those royalties. |

Well here we go again...
A lot of those dumb bastards better realize that without Pandora and such platforms, they are going to get forgotten. When that happens, albums sales drop, concert promoters aren't willing to pay big bucks for a faded out band and the audience will move on to something else they hear. Artists tend to forget that they need stations playing their stuff.

In related news the head of Roadrunner Records stepped down yesterday accompanying many lay offs.
Best part is the new owners have no idea of what music and history RR does/has. Pretty clear in their statement release lol. The RR machine is great if they can make money off of a band, if not they use you up and leave you to die. I'm sure that's not exclusive to RR but following metal I've seen it with bands I've followed. |

Crap like this bugs me. Pandora makes a buttload of cash following the current royalty laws and contracts. Then they decide they want to make more money, buy some congressmen and make advantageous changes that fuck the artists they're making money off of.

Writing a song and every time it is played expecting a check forever is kinda
 .By that logic, I guess every time they turn on the AC, the HVAC guy should get a dime. |

Say you buy an album for $10. Now you own a physical copy of that material and are free to play it as often and anywhere you want for the rest of your life etc... But a radio station whether Internet or traditional have to pay royalties on that music when they play it for the masses. Seems as though a radio station should be able to purchase the music and play to their desire. I'm sure the Labels have legalities inplace to prevent that but it's an interesting idea. |

Pandora has been an excellent gateway for upstarting artists to reach new audiences. There are many, many times I've looked up an artist I've never heard before and somewhere in the comments it will mention Pandora being a large contributor to the exposure they're getting.
The big guys can stop whining. Their music is still being played and if they don't like it they can request to not be played on Pandora and they can stop getting those checks entirely. |

Unless I read the article wrong it sounds like Pandora is asking congress to legislate a lower rate royalties.
Does that mean that everyone posting so far would rather have the feds set the price (what pandora wants) than have them pay what they negotiated with the artists (what the petition wants). I admit to not knowing a lot about internet radio but it sounds to me like Pandora is the bad actor here rather than the artists. |

The artists aren't necessarily saying 'No you can't do this to meeeeeeee!!!!!!!' What they are saying is that Pandora is trying to skip around working out deals with the industry and is trying to get Congress to make laws out of deals that they don't want to negotiate. |

They want it in law that they only have to pay $.0X royalties per song. This means that no one can negotiate it higher, regardless of how much they deserve it. If Pandora is making money hand over fist with this, then they should be paying their own way. |

Im not nearly as involved in that world as you are, but my understanding is that using licensed music for any reason legally in this Country as opposed to say the UK is basically a fucking nightmare which is why you rarely see licensed performances or tracks being included in the replays of most TV shows, radio broadcasts etc. Its crazy how in America using a song as a track bed for any kind of performance will cost you 20x times what you will be wiling to pay, but the moment you decide to parody something you can basically bust through all copyright protections you choose whenver you choose. Just goes to show how out of date our current laws are with the times. |
