  You'll soon find out that the answer is "yes". As unfortunate as it may be if you're serious about this then I'd definitely 1) consider a different name or 2) get written confirmation that you're free to use it. Actually, IANAL. Don't take my advice. Definitely check with a lawyer. The headaches today will be worth avoiding MUCH larger ones down the road.

  I guess that one of the things we're trying to achieve with pan.do/ra is to produce cutting-edge software without the help of marketeers or lawyers. There is a long tradition of making software that way, and we're trying to follow it. As a programmer, I'd prefer to find out about actual bugs, rather than worry about the hypothetical legal consequences of potential name collisions in the entertainment media space. Still, thanks for the advice.

There is an actual bug here, but it's not in the code. Consider that using the Pandora name will impel you to spend more time thinking about legal issues, not less.
