The legality of Grooveshark's business model, which permits users to upload copyrighted music, remains undetermined. The company won a major lawsuit filed by Universal Music Group concerning use of Universal's pre-1972 recordings. Grooveshark has also been sued for copyright violations by EMI Music Publishing, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group.

the content is user submitted. iirc the legal loophole is if they receive a takedown notice all they have to do is take it down and then it gets uploaded again 30 minutes later and they can say "but we took it down when you asked us to lol"

it is both legal and needs suiting. it's in a way the same as youtube, who would never survive if they lost a law suit every time some rear end in a top hat posted a family guy clip

Somebody at Apple needs to leak the wonder audio format that Neil Young was pushing them for. High Fidelity Flac or whatever.

Grooveshark is trash and a lot of the songs are either missing, corrupted, or badly ordered. Stick to the Spotify web player

i think this is the prevailing attitutde these days. i know people who used to pirate stuff all the time but now they wont watch anything that isnt on netflix or w/e just because its easier

i don't like that they split up the "starred" and "saved" playlists. why would they do that? now half the music i've discovered and liked are in two different god drat places

works great for me. was sort of disappointed they removed apps but they added a lyrics button which is all they were good for anyway. 10/10 would pay monthly for the service.

It's extremely cool that you feel so strongly about luxury product companies 'dicking' people over but apparently have no problem with pharma and the fact that NZ is the only country besides the US that allows consumer pharma ads.
