| 531745 | 2008-08-30 21:32:00 | :( Its getting worse: Internet Radio Death Watch (www.pcmag.com) From the article: Pandora Radio is the canary in the coal mine. With about a million listeners every day, Pandora is one of the most successful Internet radio stations on the Web. And it generates revenue, perhaps as much as $25 million this year alone. But that isn't enough to pay the royalty fees. What do terrestrial radio stations pay to broadcast a song? Nothing. |

| 531747 | 2008-08-31 05:57:00 | We (in the US) can still get the 1-gazillion radio stations that AOL has on their site . . and for free . . . and even if we don't have AOL . It comes on WinAmp . There was an article that said that sites like AOL's Music will not cost the user anything . . after all, they are Time/Life-Warner Broadcasting . |

When I worked in radio some years back, every station had 'Apra' week and they had to note every song played and their annual payment was based on what they played that week . That was mid 60s . I can't see why it would be any different today . |

| 531752 | 2008-08-31 10:50:00 | Almost any internet radio run from the US (or streaming to US customers from overseas), playing any music, would be a more accurate definition. In practical terms that means a huge fraction of the entire industry. It is their property to control/manage is it not? As much as it shows how rotten and deluded the music industry is, If they want to kill it off, then so be it. Metla, it's not all their property - the legislation lets them collect royalties for *everything*, even music not under their umbrella, unless each individual station has a separate contract with each individual artist circumventing it for each specific track. |

Uh, That equates to exactly what I said, They have control of it, and they are doing their best to make streaming radio impossible. The fact that they still get legislation passed to protect their control of everything just demonstrates how rotten the industry is, But I already made that point as well. |
