I wasn't arguing anything for the artists, I'm talking from a listeners' standpoint. If I never find out about bands outside of Pandora's library, nobody is at a loss, because I'm not the kind of person who would have found those bands anyway. i.e. If I'm going to spend all my money on a Lil Wayne cd, you can't make the argument that hip hop is killing 'real music' because I'm obviously not in the market for the Velvet Underground in the first place.

Pandora really isn't the main "problem", Spotify is the real threat. You can find all sorts of obscure stuff there. I don't know where I fall in this debate, though. I frankly use Spotify a lot, and I pirate a lot of stuff too.
