Grooveshark - one of the first/greatest music streaming services around.
Comprehensive music catalogue, servers never went down, and UI was simplicity incarnate.
Totally illegal business model, so it's not surprising that it didn't survive.
But it was awesome while it lasted.
- fabricexpert 8y ago> Totally illegal business model It was no different to YouTube’s...
- colejohnson66 8y agoAre you referring to VEVO? Because VEVO is entirely legal
- avinium 8y agoNo, I think they are referring to YouTube's early days, where the company allowed/encouraged (and even participated in) the upload of huge amount of unlicensed content. It's a fair comparison, but I suppose YouTube had: (a) the veneer of being a platform to "upload/share your own videos" (c.f. Grooveshark, which was solely for copyrighted music) (b) savvier management (?) who knew how to play the media/copyright business.
