Pandora vs. ASCAP

Pandora's been struggling for a little while, and now they're going after ASCAP in an attempt to lower fines:

That's pretty cool.

I think a lot of people struggle with licensing music and samples, simply because they don't know where to turn and how to do it. But with a click of a button that takes you right where you need to go, I think a lot more people will utilize this, and keep themselves from getting in trouble.

The "license" button doesn't appear to be available quite yet, but I hope it's as simple and easy to use as it needs to be.
