Internet Radio Service Pandora About To Pull the Plug?

According to founder Tim Westergren, yes:
Founder Tim Westergren has stated that the service is approaching a "pull-the-plug kind of decision" for the service. Why is this happening? Last year, web radio giants were hit with outrageously ridiculous fees by a federal panel for every song that would be played on their stations. This caused a lot of services to either shutdown, or go through what Pandora has been experiencing for the past year. In doing so, it seems the financial problems the music industry has set out to create in order to win the constant battle between rights, piracy, and copyrighted music, are working.
I didn't even know they had an app for the iPhone, fuckers. Hopefully they don't fuck off for at least a couple of more days so I have a chance to try it out, figure out that it sucks and move on to something better.
