Pandora looks to be having their asses pulled from the fire, with the deadline extended and the act likely to pass. Score one for the good guys, it seems.

Fuck the "Music Industry". I'm tired of being diplomatic about this. If your interest in music is financial, I want you the fuck out of the picture as soon as possible. I hope the door hits you on your bloated fat ass on the way out too.

You have no idea how much I agree with this.
KharBevNor:
'A lot'
That is how much I agree with it.
All my music is creative commons.
bbqrocks:
I agree with that too. All the music I will make in the future will be creative commons.

The current state of licensing and royalties is out of control. I compose and arrange music for marching bands and winter drumlines, if a school comes to me and asks for a show based on a popular band, the legal hoops I have to jump through are very high in the air and on fire; and I don't even charge schools for the music I write.
"Industry" executives are acutely aware of how quickly they are becoming obsolete, that's why they are fighting so hard to maintain control of their cash cow and working with the CRB to starve Net radio webmasters out of existence. It seems like Congress is doing something right with HR7084, I'm hoping that the Senate will get on board as well, even with our Socialist corporate bailout currently in the works.
