I agree that the music royalty playing field ought to be level. The current situation is beyond broken, but unfortunately it is caught up in a process that is more political than rational. So who knows when and how any change happens.
But a deeper problem is at work. Pandora has a revenue and business model problem, the article acknowledges this is their main focus. Most venture-backed start-ups don't have 8 years (as Pandora apparently has had) to get to any semblance of break-even, the plug gets pulled much sooner. I've spent my career in Silicon Valley, and I've seen dozens, perhaps hundreds, of startups with cool service or product offerings that ultimately failed because they were unable to develop or perfect a business model. Looks like Pandora may be another one. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51180 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
