A large number of artists have signed a letter saying Pandora should not be allowed to "slash musicians' pay."
MusicFIRST, an organization that represents performers and their rights, along with music industry supporter SoundExchange, announced today that 125 artists, including popular band "Maroon 5," Missy Elliot, T.I., and the Zac Brown Band, have signed a letter entitled "A Musicians' Perspective On Pandora," that takes aim at the music-streaming company for requesting a cut to its royalties.
"Why is the company asking Congress once again to step in and gut the royalties that thousands of musicians rely upon?" the artists asked in their letter. "That's not fair and that's not how partners work together."
