I would hesitate to buy into Westergren’s self-justification. Is RIAA an honest player? No. But neither is Pandora - Westergren is trying to gain leverage over streaming services that, for my widow’s mite, provide a better product with better artist access. Nobody’s got the whole thing figured out, everybody’s playing catch-up, but for Pandora to cry poor is disingenuous at best (and since when has “at best” applied to anyone on the business side of the music business?).
