Well that was fast.

  Poor choice of TLD, the io registry will capitulate with a takedown just as fast.
- nashashmi 11y ago
  I don't know how fast that was, but my company already blocked it. So I don't think it could have been that fast.

Did the old grooveshark have a direct link to the mp3 file of the song before? I missed that one. Also, how is this running with that feature? Is this hosted on the moon?

  5$ they're just a proxy for some public ftp mp3 index, using grooveshark name and style to bootstrap visits.

    "to bootstrap visits?" That's a new one.

    According to this tweet[1] it's actually mp3juices.se with a different skin. That seems to be confirmed by the same habit of using dl.<domain> for media serving, the very similar layout, and the same (apparent) choice of hosting provider.

Based on the name... It seems impossible that the people behind this site are not aware of what happened to the real Grooveshark. In fact, they probably have messages and communications about it. That means when the RIAA and friends go after them, they will have a strong case to pursue willful infringement. That's not something to mess around with.

  And it won't take very long either seeing as the owner didn't bother to mask his whois....

I'm not sure what this is. I'm guessing a music sharing site, based on the fact that typing "owner of a lonely heart" into the search box results in a bunch of System of a Down, Beatles, and Lindsey Lohan songs (because apparently Yes is a figment of my imagination), but other than that, I'm at a loss.
