>> "We killed the project because it became clear how sadly broken the music industry has become. They wanted about 50% of our revenue, no matter how we sliced the business model. We are totally miffed at how pandora or spotify survive." Aren't Spotify running at a huge loss? I don't see how this means the music industry is broken. They are trying to get as much money for the content they own as possible. If they don't think your service is worth much to them they probably don't want to bother licensing you the content. Seems like simple business strategy. The problem is with your business - you need to find a way to make money. If a business can't make enough money to afford the thing it can't survive without then you have a problem, you can't just blame the problem on someone else. I get where you're coming from (they make it too expensive) but they have no need to license you content. In fact it just fragments the market more making marketing more difficult for them. I think ideally they would want one store where everyone goes for everything.

You can either have AI be honest or AI become a marketing tool.
