mattnyc99 writes "Over the weekend, we talked about the impending death of streaming music site Pandora thanks to a very backwards fight over royalties. In this in-depth followup for his column at PopMech, Glenn Derene gets to the bottom of just how insane it is that Pandora has to pay record labels for the bad songs that users skip—and, in addition to more impending doom comments from Pandora's founder, gets the (three-member) Copyright Royalty Board to try and defend itself about why the government is determining royalty rates for the music industry. Quoting: "It was uninvited," says Richard Strasser, senior attorney for the Copyright Royalty Board. "I don't think anybody was jumping up and down with joy in the government that they have this responsibility, but the former systems just weren't working out."" Link to Original Source
