Pandora to cut off UK listeners
I've been using Pandora for quite some time. Today BBC News is reporting that licensing issues will be impacting listeners in the UK.
Pandora said it was being forced to stop streaming music to British users of the service thanks to an unresolved royalty row. The argument hinges on the rates Pandora pays to UK music rights groups to stream music to British users. In an e-mail sent to UK listeners, Pandora founder Tim Westergren said he was "very, very sorry" for the abrupt end to the service.
If you recall, a similar issue hit US listeners over the summer and petitions were filed. How long before internet radio is turned off for good? Should you have to pay to listen to music on the internet?
