Excuse my cynicism, but what prevents this exact thing from happening to Grooveshark in the future?
Wikipedia says Universal Media Group sued you and that's why Apple took your app down from their App Store just two months ago. It also says you got sued by Pink Floyd and had to take down their tunes.
It starts small, but using major label music will be death by a thousand cuts.
- wanderr 16y agoI think the last.fm decision was purely about money. Internet radio streaming is significantly cheaper to license than on demand radio. I can't comment on lawsuits but I think the Wikipedia article is inaccurate. We remove tracks voluntarily so not every takedown is accompanied by a lawsuit. :)
