Pandora is proud of paying musicians?

3 pointsby funkwyrmover 12 years ago
I recall quite recently the press release where Pandora talked about creating a musician middle class. For the first time in history. So, the first step to creating this middle class is to sue them?

It is worth remembering that Pandora payed <i>all of the money it made</i> plus $20mm in investor dollars beyond that for royalties last year. Pandora has never been profitable.

That's a funny defense of ASCAP. Keep in mind that ASCAP is a middle man that Pandora is replacing.

Codhisattva, what you state is false. ASCAP is the appointed agent of songwriters for blanket licensing purposes and operates under a consent decree.
