Here recently there has been a huge math of lawsuits by Grooveshark vs. UMG. UMG has filed last week a copyright infringement lawsuit. UMG claims that the company has uploaded over 100,000 songs without permission. UMG is seeking a huge sum of $150,000 per infringment. Grooveshark has had problems with copyright in the past before with Google taking their mobile app off their Android market earlier in the year. I wish the huge best of luck for Grooveshark and CEO Samuel Tarantino.
With Grooveshark in the midst and lurking behind, their top competitor Spotify is radically pursuing upwards. There has always been problems with lawsuits by everyone for streaming websites and it really won't stop until a powerful medium from the government. Though with the huge bill of controversy called SOPA, the problems will keep arising. With everyone from Google to Amazon against this bill, the fight is on to stop the future censoring of the internet from the U.S government.
Keep your hopes up, things will get better Grooveshark.
