Pandora Radio Closing Shop?

What a bad way to start a Monday morning. By far, my favorite streaming radio station has to be Pandora Radio, it puts together the best stream of music no matter what my mood is (I'm actually listening to it right now). While I think this points directly back to the music giants continuing to fight the battle of protecting all their music instead of finding ways of making more money from it. What I find more surprising is what doesn't Pandora start charging for their service. I'm a huge fan of subscription based services, i.e. Netflix, and can imagine Pandora doing the same thing. I would be more than happy to pay 5 or 10 bucks a month for their service. Obviously, they could continue to make it free and have advertising every few songs and then have a commercial free paid version. Let's just hope they don't shut their doors.
