Court Gives a Victory to Pandora Over Licensing Streaming Music; New York Times, 9/18/13
Ben Sisario, New York Times; Court Gives a Victory to Pandora Over Licensing Streaming Music:
"Pandora Media won a battle in its continuing war with the music industry over royalties when a federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, which represents thousands of members, cannot prevent Pandora from licensing all the songs in its catalog.
The ruling, by Judge Denise L. Cote of United States District Court in Manhattan, is a blow to music publishers, who have tried to get the best royalty rates for digital music by limiting the extent that performing rights societies like Ascap and Broadcast Music Incorporated represent their songs."
