I am sure many of you know about the online music site Pandora. It is a awesome musins site that examines he music you listen to and figures out other music you may like. In any case, according to this Washington Post article, the company may be on the verge of stopping the music.
Last year, an obscure federal panel ordered a doubling of the per-song performance royalty that Web radio stations pay to performers and record companies.
Traditional radio, by contrast, pays no such fee. Satellite radio pays a fee but at a less onerous rate, at least by some measures.
As for Pandora, its royalty fees this year will amount to 70 percent of its projected revenue of $25 million, Westergren said, a level that could doom it and other Web radio outfits.
So to try to battle this the people over at Clearspring have developed a widget for people to put on their blogs to spread the word.
Head over and grab one to fit you blog/web site and help spread the word!
