Online music streaming websites had their days when Piracy was very common , no one was bothered much as there were no such checks , Napster is one example - rise and fall due to pirating music and later how it changed and forgot what it believed in because it started getting money.Its different now a days , Piracy can not stay anywhere.

What is Grooveshark

Grooveshark started as a peer-to-peer application and later turned into a web-based system where users could simply download Music . It became very famous like Napster and iTunes but with fame came its downfall . Music Tycoons couldn't digest how Grooveshark was ripping off their music , as there was no legal binding with any Record Label and Grooveshark. That Led to the demise of Grooveshark. A lawsuit filed by the trio of Music industry giants – EMI Music Publishing, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group; on the grounds of copyright violations led to Grooveshark to finally come to a closure. Grooveshark has announced that they are no longer in operation and an agreement has been settled between all the parties involved. The CEO wrote a very emotional message when he closed the system, it showed how much it meant to him.

GrooveShark Alternatives
