I am a CDN engineer and I know how much it cost to bring those kind of services to the end-user... it is not free! Even if the music is free, content distribution networks are not. So even if we dont have to pay a dime for the music itself, we still need to pay for the distribution costs. +1 Fred….

Please clarify. Absolutely nothing I said was incorrect. The limit had nothing to do with protecting artists. The $1 fee was to try to bump up subscribers and raise extra money, and they do pay royalties. The fact that AM/FM stations have poor range has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation. But, for that matter, try listening to Pandora on a cross-country drive and let me know how that works out for you. I could name over a dozen free services for music. Slacker is only one of them. The service is also one of the best that I use on a daily basis. Guess what... they pay royalties too. I am here for people like you. People who think they know everything. People who try to make others who actually know something, look dumb. I am full of it? Please clarify.

Bypassing the limit on Pandora was never piracy. At most it was a ToS violation, but that doesn't make it piracy. Nothing was getting stolen. Who is allocating piracy?

They also get money every time you hear and advertisement. The point here was that bypassing a limit which doesn't even exist anymore, did not hurt them. Not at all. They actually made money from it, which is why they got rid of it with the update and proudly proclaimed how this will result in more revenue. Yes Matt O, they do get charged per song.

You must be in range of an antenna. try listening to the music you want to hear on the radio on a cross-country drive. If you know of other free services than why are you even here?

Nice try! "I can't afford music but it's my right to have it!" Look at all the lame excuses the thiefs are using! Hey guys, try this...honesty! "I steal movies and software because it's easy and I don't care what anybody thinks." I'd respect that more than your pathetic excuses. Just use a Visa gift card! Nice try!

However, I'm a self employed game designer. It takes me months to write a game, and I should just give it away? People, don't waste your time here. Anyone advocating piracy is just a kid who hasn't yet experienced real life. Gotcha there.

They deserve to charge for such a relatively low price service.

Leonardo & Beethoven never charged for their art? They had sponsors and wealthy benefactors that paid for everything and paid very well. Your statement 'stop being a douche bag and let us have what we want. free information for all.' reveals that you have never created or contributed anything to this world. Go and write a song or paint a painting. I guarantee you will not be giving it away for free. Love this, also: "Most bands these days (atleast the good ones) dont even want to charge for their music anymore cause they realize that its just become about the money." What the freak are you talking about? All the GREAT bands charge for their music. You are a spoiled, gluttonous, arrogant and entitlement-laden idiot spouting anything to justify your bad behavior. In case you hadn't noticed, you live in a capitalistic society. The dollar is our mode of currency. When you are bagging groceries at the market or whatever high-level job you spend your little days doing do you expect to do it for free? Hell no. You probably have never done anything for anyone else in your life. You want what you want when you want it even if it has no value in your life. There is a big difference between freedom of information and STEALING someone else's creative output. The 'author' of this article is also an idiot. He wrote this article for only one reason: to increase viewership to this website. He has bills to pay and mouths to feed. He knew his revealing how to reset the Pandora limit would generate page hits. Page hits translate to higher revenue. In closing, you typed 'I apologize for my spelling errors, Ignorance frustrates me.' Believe me, your ignorance is not only in your spelling errors. And that makes you the douchebag.
