This is hilarious, Romania and Russia are like top10 and top1 at pirating. Who cares if it's not free anymore for us )))

They have to get more money from those countries because the cost of doing business there is higher.

I can't believe someone wants money for providing a service.

Hardcore illegal from Groovesharks side, they do not own any rights to the music they are supplying, they shoudn't be able to demand pay (unlike Spotify which has proper licenses for the music available).

Hm, I have a spotify unlimited subscription, but Spotify doesn't have kpop so I use grooveshark a lot for that. It seems weird that it would only cost money in some countries, too.
memes are a dish best served dank

Just download Kpop or rip it from youtube so you can put it in spotify.

The only reason Grooveshark has a database at all is because they asked their users to illegally upload music to their servers. I have a feeling they won't last much longer.

as an alternative you might consider the Last.fm plugin for chrome. I've been using it for quite some time now. No ads, free.

It is getting increasingly annoying to live in germany with all that GEMA crap. I can practically not use youtube right now when I'm not using a proxy. Now the same with grooveshark. I'd very much be willing to pay for the situation to be the same as in the US (hulu, grooveshark/pandora/spotify, youtube), but I'm just not able to.

Also if anyone knows about an android app I can still download music with from germany, that would make me a very happy man ;-)

Please explain how running an internet website has higher costs if you have users from Romania or Russia.

One of the head guys over at Grooveshark, Pauly Crush was talking about this a couple weeks ago on a local radio show. He basically said that they are being sued constantly, and in order to make a profit they would have to start this.

They're getting sued by the 4 biggest record labels so you might be right.
The ruminations are mine, let the world be yours.

I doubt it's because they are being sued, its because they realized that their customer base has grown pretty large and just like anything else that blows up, they are going to start charging for it because they know that people will pay for it.... its just economics, I doubt this has much to do with SOPA.
