Im using spotify but i just pay 99SEK(12/13 bucks or something) every month and get it unlimited and on my mobile phone too. Its very worth it. Well i guarantee you 99% of the people who use it, use it because its free. As soon as thats taken away why not go to another site thats just as good? Last.FM is an option as well as spotify. I don't think anybody is really "bitching" about it more or less interested why Finland pays 4$ and Romania 2$. | ||

If I have to choose, I'll pay 4$ to grooveshark over spotify(tried that crap since beta and it was alright, then the catalouge went to the town pub and lost a game of in the lake. Not to mention the whole facebook crap.) | ||

It sound like their financial problems could be a result of them being sued to hell. You can use it like youtube for music, except it's easier and faster. for example something like this MOSTLY misses from youtube http://grooveshark.com/#!/search?q=nujabes. | ||

Also, the costs probably depend on the licencing cost that the licence/right institution demands from anyone who uses music, in this case Grooveshark. In Germany that would be GEMA (representing composers, authors and music publisher rights). I would guess that GEMA demands too much so that Grooveshark doesn't even bother opening for the German market. I guess that Grooveshark can cover their licencing fees/operating costs in Finland with ~2$ per user, while it would require ~4$ to cover all fees occuring in romania per user. | ||
