Today in Manhattan, pioneer streaming giant Pandora is set to meet licensing agency BMI in court to settle a dispute over current royalty rates. The trial will determine how much Pandora pays BMI’s songwriters and music publishers to stream their songs. According to the New York Times, Pandora currently pays BMI 1.75 per cent of its revenue, but wants to reduce that to 1.7 per cent to match that paid by most radio stations.
