Are we reading the same article?  The fees are going from 8/100th of a
cent per song per listener to 19/100th of a cent.  Works out to a 137%
increase so I'm not sure where you get your 700% figure from.

In any case, I think Goodsounds is right on the money.  They are trying
to expand and capture listener market share (free Pandora on
Squeezenetwork, free Pandora on iPhone) but they aren't getting paid
for it.  Not a bad technique to start out and establish your position
in the marketplace, but giving something away and getting nothing in
return simply isn't a sustainable business practice.
