This is a timely moment for streaming music services ramp up internal public policy resources. Legal issues surrounding how music is copyrighted and licensed for streaming use abound. Pandora made a comprable move in the recently hired Dave Grimaldi. Pandora and Spotify face different legal issues, inasmuch as Pandora licenses music with government-set royalty rates, and Spotify negotiates rates directly. (The two services exist in different legal categories, non-interactive for Pandora and interactive for Spotify.) But the entire streaming audio industry in the U.S. is touched by public policy issues from net neutrality to media piracy.
