Copyrights killed the Internet Radio Star
I just heard that a great internet radio site - Pandora.com, may be shutting down. They got slapped with a lawsuit that basically requires them to pay 70% of all the money they earned since 2000 towards copyright from the music.
I like this site because it's not just genre specific, but it askes you what band you're in the mood for, then creates a stream with many different bands and styles closely matching it. When I'm on the computer, I like some low jazz in the background, and this site works perfect for me. I mean, who wants to hear the same band all day?

This SUCKS! I've been listening to pandora for a couple of years and have been hoping that some kind of reasonable compromise would occur that would allow them to keep in business.
