Get a fucking grip.
It's not about copyright infringement, it's about internet radio stations being forced to pay exorbitant royalties relative to regular radio. I don't know how Pandora works (I know how it works as a listener, but not the back end stuff), but I do have a Live365 station which keeps me somewhat up-to-date on the bullshit. I wish I could articulate it really well for you, but all I can do is say is internet radio is not just whining "why can't we broadcast music for free?"; these are sites that already do pay to broadcast and the recording industry and big broadcasting are trying to kill internet radio completely.
