I love how the focus is "pandora is bad", not "it's the fault
of the labels who signed the contract". The fact that it's the
"look over here" argument from an artist who has done this
repeatedly in the past (by basically not understanding the
internet) is par for the course. Remember that this is the
same guy who fails to understand the pirate party movement, as
well. I'd trust him for valid insight into artists' situation
as much as I'd expect Florian to give me a valid insight into
microsoft.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Radio and Pandora are different.
A single "performance" on the radio could reach 1 million people. It
would violate Pandora's terms of use to play the music in a public place.
I guess the real question is how much indirect revenue is generated from Pandora
or Radio performances. Which makes you more likely to buy a CD or otherwise
purchase the music. Which makes you more likely to attend a concert and
purchase the overpriced shirt referenced by the artist?
Pandora does feel a bit different than the radio, I think some artists just
haven't figured out how to make it work for them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

While it's somewhat dated (ca 2002), this article by Janis Ian
presents the situation fairly clearly. Not sure if all the stats are still
valid, but I doubt the overall situation has changed in the last ten years. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

A million plays on Pandora is likely little, if any,
more than a million pair of ears listening. Each play on
either Sirius or terrestrial radio is a 'broadcast' and
could be heard by thousands or hundreds of thousands
of pairs of ears. (And I am sure stations are happy
to share with advertisers just what their listenership
stats are for various time-slots)
Failing to take into account this multiple-listeners
for various broadcast formats versus Pandora,
leads to a watermellon to blueberries, lopsided and
unfair comparison.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I read this with incredulity.
Let's say a song gets played *once* on a radio station with
a reach of potentially 5 million listeners, 1/5 of which
actually listen.
Now *THAT* is what 1 million Pandora streams represents, not
1 million airplays on a station with a large reach.
How much would he get for *one* play from a radio station?
Do the math.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
