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.

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.
