First Bytes: Pandora, U2, F.C.C., TechCrunch vs. Demo
- Pandora, the popular online music service, is drowning under the weight of the royalty fees it must pay to music rights-holders. [WP]
- Several new U2 tunes have made their way to the web. How? Someone apparently recorded Bono blasting them on his South-of-France villa's stereo, and the rest is history. [News.com]
- The F.C.C. is preparing to decide whether unused TV spectrum, known as "white spaces," can be used to create new Wi-Fi networks, as Google and other companies have been lobbying for. [WSJ]
- Sportsfanlive.com, which is launching this week, aims to take sports into the Web 2.0 era. [TechCrunch]
- Speaking of TechCrunch, as the Silicon Valley blog gears up for next month's TechCrunch 50 conference, it finds itself locked in a war of words with Demo, a rival tech conference. [NYT]
- Fox New Channel is too cool for MySpace, despite the fact that its parent company, News Corp. owns it. [NYT]
