Today has been the worst day for me at work, because my beloved
Pandora has closed down to observe the Day of Silence. The Day of Silence is to raise awareness of the Internet Radio Act, which increases the cost of licenses for music causing several internet radio websites to close or start charging people. Currently, Internet Radio stations are paying twice as much as Satellite and traditional radio stations.
Personally, I love streaming Internet music, especially Pandora, because Pandora allows you to enter the music you like and they will try to match other bands. This allows me to discover new bands and because I can listen to mulitple songs by that artist I don't illegally download music before I purchase the CD.
Keep Internet Radio free! Contact your local Senators and Representives and pass this along!
