I'm an undergrad in the CISE derpatment at UF and did an (unpaid) internship there this past semester. They are definitely way below market rate for their developers, but you also have to consider how far $40,000 can go in Gainesville, where 'expensive' rent is $600. Grooveshark lets its employees create their own schedules (some devs work 4 PM - 2 AM), have a lot of control over what they're doing, and enjoy a fun and relaxed workplace. The internet likes to look at the pay figure and cry out that these employees are being mistreated, but the majority of people I know at the company love their job and the lifestyle it allows them.
