Regardless of how the content is licensed (and I'm familiar with the various ways music is licensed) the labels and distributors always find a way to apply legal and/or market pressure when they are motivated enough to do so. I don't know that it's happening, I'm simply unconvinced that it isn't. Pandora is probably a big enough fish for the labels to notice. And all any of us can do at this point is guess. > Or maybe, just maybe, it's correct. If it is correct, and I created a "music genetic analysis" that confused Throbbing Gristle with Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys, I'd be pretty unhappy with myself. Either way, it doesn't speak well of Pandora. -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24659 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
