My only question: If Pandora wins, does that mean free/cheaper subscriptions to its users?

Its not entirely clear where, but this wreaks of a double-standard.

It annoys me to no end when people speak of revenues. Net profit is the number that makes sense to be argued, not revenue.

I like how Pandora argues that it pays more in royalties than anyone else. Last time I checked Pandora pays around 1/10 per play as most other broadcasters. I like Pandora but this is the pot calling the kettle black.
