Pandora's Box - How the Future of Internet Radio May Look

[TheWarbirdPhoenix]

Stupid music industry,they're shooting themselves in the foot with a uzi with a extra large mag. It's time to cut out the middle man,dump the empty souless music suits. The music artist and the internet is all we need,screw label companies.

[ganiglesias]

that's absurd...singers/composers need not work anymore. Just sit and wait for the royalties to come in. "garage band" will never see the light of day if they will produce something that we can not play for free. What is streamed in the internet becomes the property of the internet. These people are the "sharks" in the net. They smell blood named "royalties" and they will eat webcasters alive. record companies must produce coded song which will not play unless the end user pays royalty.

Please make a video on the risk of businesses on the Internet. Also, the purpose why the Internet was developed.

[lsnfoundation]

Right Now, we do not even have enough people browsing Internet now if you want a positive impact on Internet Advertisement, please do me this favor and get the Internet users first to use the Internet.

[lsnfoundation]

People want something for free. If people want a real radio then they must go back the old fashion way and start themselves a radio company. You people want your ice cream and cake that means you want free Internet and want us Americans to make exception for you for your business. No! No! No! You are going to make us Americans have problems with other countries by changing the Internet laws from free to paid and that is why other countries want to take the Internet.

[lsnfoundation]

Internet has nothing to do with your personal business you like to have over the Internet and that's that.

[lsnfoundation]

Internet is a free Business Advertisement, Resources, and Information and that's that.

[lsnfoundation]

Now, Americans are making all these laws how Internet suppose to be operate allowing people to make personal laws on the Internet because they have business however this is not what the Americans told other countries about Internet while Americans are in charge as of now but the way us Americans are making laws for the Internet other countries right now would like to remove the Internet from our government. Internet is a free Business Advertisement.

[lsnfoundation]

If people want to risk money investing in selling music over the Internet that would be their business but they should no that Internet is for free. If they paid music companies for music, America does not have anything to do with that besides that is the entrepreneur risk. Anytime you deal with Internet especially as a business its a risk because it is free. It's just like if Americans abuse Internet and make laws another country would like to take Internet out of the hands of USA.

[lsnfoundation]

We must think why Internet was invented. Internet resources of information suppose to be free providing resources and information from around the globe for free now people are making laws for Internet and websites and radio station this is the only free enterprise we have in America and I think we should not take it out of contents. If Internet suppose to be free than allow it to do so, stop writing legislation and all these people for cost to free Internet. No laws, No trouble

I love Pandora, but I dont have a lot of money right now. Ok there is only one thing for me to do, its time to get the word out about Pandora!

[richardwagner99]

does anyone know if its legal to just play music from artists in your cd collection on a homemade internet radio station? i want to start an internet radio station,but im afraid of playing some artists. ive already started asking each one permission but i have no clue what the laws are

[othellowaborn15]

i think it not illegal cause ur givin music artist a big hand

[chikotube]

wait, are these bills still on the table?

[chikotube]

I just sent one to my Rep.

[SavePandoraRadio]

Yeah this is a huge problem. You need you to call your local rep and ask them to cosponser the bill HR 2060. I did it! If you listen to internet radio, it's the right thing to do.

[johnmonk66]

you want the music, you pay for it.

imagine a company invests millions in a band, then everyone steals thier music and they lose money, no more music.

anyone against the artist getting paid thier share is a thief.

we are talking about .008 cents a song

[stukish]

Pandora is exactly what Internet Radio is about. It is an amazing resource for great music! Thank you, Tim. I am a HUGE FAN!

[iwantfriends010]

I hope pandora stays up, royalty fees keep increasing.

Good luck, I love this site.

[Thrillcekr]

This could be a blessing in disguise. Online stations could broadcast music by independent record labels and artists. Radio might actually improve and the little guy would have a better chance of getting into the business.

[utuben]

SaveNetRadio is funding by media conglomerates (Yahoo, Microsoft, etc.) with the goal of paying as little money as possible to artists, who are mostly "little guys" just trying to survive. F$&!@ SaveNetRadio.
