mr. harrison, congress has been deliberating for quite a while on copyright law. what would you like to see done from your perspective? >> guest: well, first of all, applaud chairman goodlatte for his leadership in looking at these issues. i had the pleasure of testifying before the ip subcommittee last month, you know? they're taking what i think is the appropriate approach which is a comprehensive and full look at all of the issues associated with copyright. you know, and hopefully what coming out of this is a -- comes out of this is a real productive conversation of all of the stakeholders including, frankly, the consumers at the end of the day who benefit from innovating technologies like pandora and that we can find a way to improve the system where it can be improved. >> i know that pandora's also increasing its presence in d.c., that you've opened an office here. what are some of the other issues that you're looking at in terms of -- >> guest: sure. obviously, music licensing and copyright reform is top of mind for us. but, you know, we're clearly focused o

mr. harrison? >> thank you, mr. chairman, ranking member nadler, chairman goodlatte, ranking member conyers and other members of the committee. pandora appreciates this opportunity to testify at this important hearing. without question pandora's delivering tremendous value to listeners, artists, songwriters and the music industry. 77 million listeners tuned into pandora last month and listened for an average of 22 hours. every month pandora performs more than 1.5 million songs by more than 100,000 recording artists, 80% of whom were not played on terrestrial radio. pandora contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to a new royalty stream for artists that did not exist 20 years ago. just nine years after launching, pandora will celebrate a major milestone later this summer. $1 billion in total royalties paid. as this committee considers opportunities to improve music licensing, pandora hopes the committee will appreciate the essential aspects of our current system of statutory blanket licenses, including the consen

mr. harrison, what is pandora and how does it work? >> guest: it is what you may known as a personalized radio service. our technology is what sets us apart. our music genome primary. it was founded by a musician himself. he was frustrated because it was difficult for him to communicate with drouirectors. a director would say i want music that sounds like x and the director would say this sounds like x and he would no, no, something that sounds like x. so his idea was you could breakdown music into its genes and map that up to 450 different characterist characteristics and create something that looked at every song. just by way of example, think of vocalist, nora jones, very light and breathy. compare her to tom yates or bob dillion. that is just one example of the ways in which musicolgist will analyze the song and categorize the genes. then we use collective intelligence. so think of that as how a song plays for everybody on the service. if you have a station you seeded with the almond brothers, for example, we can tell how well song

mr. harrison, to go back to the political side. if somebody is listening to fallout boy -- >> it goes back to some of the math i do not understand. we look at what your zip code and gender and age and how is that all of manifested in the secret sauce, part of the reason it is sacred. who developed the secret sauce? it is all in house. chris how many employees? >> north of 1300. the vast majority involved in sales. withu guys later around looking at the mobile use and desktop use. as people rely more on their mobile devices, you have had to and just. -- adjust. can you tell about what you learned in changing these models? was -- it is fascinating to look at the change. we were just a couple of years ago and predominately listen to on the desktop. are on% of our listeners mobile devices. it creates a lot of challenges for the service. you have a much smaller screen. how do you convey information and in a way that is simple? advertisers have not moved over to mobile as .apidly as the listeners have and so, the monetization of our mobi

mr. harrison.you can't take it down, i can get someone to help you take it down. >> get somebody to help me then. >> i'll be back. >> my style, if i have an offender that doesn't want to follow my orders, then i'll give them a warning. because i understand, you know, these guys are locked in most of the day. they don't have a chance to, you know, communicate with their friends or brothers, their family, whatever it is. so i'll give them a little bit of slack. >> i'm trying. that -- wrote me up, man. i got destruction of property. i don't [ bleep ] know. she probably wants me to destruct her ass. >> he's refusing to take his curtain down. harrison. >> you want somebody to [ bleep ]. >> i ain't doing that, sarge. man, i want my privacy. >> come here. now, if i see that curtain -- >> it's going back up as soon as -- >> i will come in here, shake you down, and take you up and have you strip-searched and write you up myself. >> get the cable fixed. >> i'm trying to get your cable fixed. but i do not wan

mr. harrison. there's also a question whether the marriage is even legal because whether she had competency when she got married to make that decision. now the plaintiff, patricia barber, even played the wusa9 story that mola did as evidence this whole marriage was a sham and an effort to try to keep the couple here in virginia. there's also an issue as to whether edith hill suffers from dementia and could have consented to the marriage and there's also a question whether the marriage will be void, although that may have to be decided at a later date. the big issue now that the judge has yet to decide on after a five-hour hearing is who gets custodial care of her. he was exasperated at times during the hearing because the woman now taking care of mrs. hill, rebecca wright, acted as her own attorney, din know court procedure, asked irrelevant questions and that dragged out the hearing. the judge has yet to rule. we are waiting to hear and get some kind of reaction on this case and it could ultimatel

mrs. harrison, why do taxpayers have to provide funding? guest: first of all, these are not nonessential services. the second thing is, in terms of the deficit, we represent 1/10 0th of 1%. i do believe the honorable gentleman has since walked back his strong opinion. the fact is we provide a service that could not be provided without the help of the federal government. it is not 100 percent help, as i said before. this is a great partnership. we have been very responsible about holding up our end, ensuring the funds do not just come from the backs of taxpayers. from $445 million taxpayers. what is your operating budget in total? guest: cpb does not raise money, so this is our total funding for public media. were talking about the corporation for public broadcasting. host: for pbs, npr? guest: those are separate. host: on average percentagewise, how much are they getting from taxpayers versus corporations? guest: out of this performing television andto 25% to radio. pbs is a membership organization. npr is a membership organization. so they
