Why is Grooveshark still streaming music for free to all while other similiar servers like last.fm or Pandora had to make some restrictions? How can it be legal, what is different from other mentioned servers? Why RIAA didn't do anything yet? (if you have the permission, be free to correct the post grammar or add the tag 'grooveshark') |

Last.fm and Pandora stream music for free as well, so does Myspace, so do radio and TV stations, and a ton of other media outlets. The issue is who's music they're streaming for free, how they're doing it, and whether they have licensing agreements with the rights holders. Grooveshark has been sued just as most filesharing services have. They have a licensing deal with EMI, and copyright holders are allowed to remove their songs from their network. Users caught uploading pirated songs more than a certain number of times get banned from the service. |
