Pandora Box Closing….. Really???
Aug 19th
Have you read the Washington Post article on Aug. 18th, reporting that Pandora one of the largest, if not the largest internet radio stations which boast a listener base of 100,000 at any given time and new listeners in the thousands coming on board daily…
Hmm…. Pandora is being hit hard having to pay higher royalities to the artist,,,, the higher royalty rates are putting them under some financial hardship We can all appreciate what is happening in the music arena today, but you have to ask yourself, what is right here? I think that it comes back to paying the royalities to the artist. Pandora won’t fail, they will subsidize with advertising or have folks pay more for their service.
In the end, the right thing here is paying the royalities due the aritst. I work with many artists that must maintain a day job to keep the music that we enjoy … sounds like Pandora needs to look for other options, to support themselves..
No Brainer here folks…
