I recall quite recently the press release where Pandora talked about creating a musician middle class. For the first time in history. So, the first step to creating this middle class is to sue them?

It is worth remembering that Pandora payed all of the money it made plus $20mm in investor dollars beyond that for royalties last year. Pandora has never been profitable.

That's a funny defense of ASCAP. Keep in mind that ASCAP is a middle man that Pandora is replacing.

Codhisattva, what you state is false. ASCAP is the appointed agent of songwriters for blanket licensing purposes and operates under a consent decree.
