RIP Pandora
Pandora is dead due the the recently new (retroactive no less) Internet radio royalty rates. As Doc Searls put it:
"In a move that recalls the Vogons' decision to destroy Earth to clear the way for a highway bypass through space (a thankfully fictional premise of Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy), the judges comprising the Copyright Royalty Board have decided to destroy the Internet radio industry so the Recording Industry won't be inconvenienced by something it doesn't know, like or understand."

Hmmm...January 2008 and it is still up.
The post was accurate at the time. Obviously the situation has changed in the past nine months.
