They should do an independent artists and non-RIAA version. Now that they have people's musical taste profiles and an established user base, the next step is to profile many more said tracks.
- tweety 18y agoThey totally should, BUT it seems SoundExchange STILL gets the money through something like lobbied-through by RIAA legislation of compulsory licensing even for non-label music (now that I'd call borderline criminal) http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/04/30/riaa-stamps-hard-on-independent-radio-stations http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/04/30/riaa-... http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/4/24/141326/870/429/327063 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/4/24/141326/870/429/32706...
- adrianwaj 18y agoSounds like SoundExchange are not only passing-off but should be subject to anti-trust laws. Other solution: Pandora opens-source its software and open-content its listener profiles to allow overseas based clones, and then find a different business model. Can MusicBrainz start sound-profiling tracks?
- netcan 18y agoThat's actually an cool idea. I mean, if they can really pick your preferences effectively, you don't need 'stars' anymore.
