Pandora IPO suffers mightily today

I refuse to pay money for "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" and "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes". The ads are really annoying though. If i have to listen to another commercial for Drop Dead Diva on the Lifetime channel I'm gonna jump out the window.

So the artists who take the time to write and the money to record the songs that keep your toddler entertained are not worthy of compensation?
You really think the people who wrote either of those songs are getting any compensation for them?
Well my band has been paid from Pandora play (literally pennies, to be sure), but that's not really my point.

I take exception with 3d's apparent attitude that the songs he uses to entertain his child are somehow beneath consideration that somebody has put time and effort into them. I may be reading too much into his statement (and if so 3d I apologize) but that's what I get from the way he presents the argument.

As a working musician and recording engineer, I take exception to the idea that "music should be free, man!" 3d seems to imply that children's music is somehow worth even less.
