The Recording Industry Hates its Customers

Something Awful

Pandora is an internet radio site that tries to find music listeners might enjoy based on their preferences. It recently sent an e-mail out to its international users telling them service will be cut due to licensing issues. What I don't understand is why the recording industry thinks it necessary to shutdown a site that promotes music. It's basically free advertising. Listeners can't buy the songs from Pandora and they can't play songs on demand. All Pandora does is give listeners a preview of music they may have never heard of otherwise. I wonder why it's not treated like a regular radio station.
