In a nut shell, you need roughly $1M upfront for legal fees to negotiate with the big four record labels (for an interactive service, not a non-interactive service like Pandora).
- eru 16y agoThanks for the details. I guess I understand what you mean. Though I wouldn't use the words interactive/non-interactive. Pandora is quite interactive in a UI sense, even though you can't select tracks directly.
- emehrkay 16y agoCan you define interactive and non-interactive for me?
- taylorlb 16y agoPerhaps passive radio style listening vs random access is a better way of explaining it. I think.
- whopa 16y agoYeah, non-interactive is radio style listening whereas interactive the user gets to pick and choose what they want to hear on demand. Interactive/non-interactive in this context are actually widely used terms in the digital music space.
