Music Streaming Website Grooveshark Shuts Down
Found on Time on Friday, 01 May 2015
The company was been being sued by a slew of record companies, including a $15 billion suit from Universal Music Group.
They must also wipe clean any records of copyrighted material, hand over their online and mobile platforms, and surrender their patents and intellectual property.
So either the labels just stomp the service, keep it running like it is (yeah, big chance) or hide it behind a over-priced paywall. Looking back at the history of the industry, it's most likely the stomping; and in a couple of months the labels will push out new press releases, telling everybody that piracy went up again.
