I for one do think should at least be paying the same rate as Pandora or LastFM, but it is my understanding they are not.

Sometimes I think us musicians need to take a leaf from athletes book and really try to be the best (if that's what we want). It's a mind set but your article says it really well. Incidentally, I have used your pitching website audiorocket and think it's great so all in all very impressed!

For entrepreneurs, marketing professionals, majors or indie CEOs - yes. But not for hectic-creative-visual-sonic artists. LinkedIn is pretty dry and highly pro format (so far), and respected for this. No half-naked, party stuff. No jokes. Straight to business. Artists are not very fond of it.
Just personal experience.

the idealistic consumer is aware that the way you spend your money is a political statement ("to be fair"/"support the artist"), but it's only a minority, to me, I hope to be wrong.
