Grooveshark is currently being sued by almost every major label globally which may be the reason why they're facing a finacial crisis. The lawsuit started last month (January 2012) and considering how many record labels are angry at them, they're probably not going to stay free for long.

I could write a 10 page essay on why everyone that says this is clueless as hell, but I'll leave it at this:

Nearly every single great piece of art has provided the artist monetary compensation. If you can't make a living through your art you can't practice it full time, hence your art will never be as good as it could be. Not to mention the fact that they just deserve to be paid for producing a quality product, even if it's not a physical object.

You couldn't google that for yourself? It's a music streaming website.

Will agree with all the " Music should not be free " shit when music will not be so damn expensive.
15€ an album, and 20€ a movie ?
I mean.. really ? Company are expecting us to buy a these price ? :/

You can still proxy into a free country. I think this is mainly because big music companies like universal and sony sue the shit out of grooveshark. Also germany not having grooveshark is for a totally different reason, kinda similiar to why you can't even use half of youtube from germany.
The only positive thing is that the current music industry will probably not survive long term, the way they deal with new inventions (like cloud music streaming services or the internet in general) and their current price policies just shows that they still live in the 20th century and try to farm as long as they still can.

Good thing I switched to pandora though^^

I don't understand why it costs so much more to operate in those countries that they need to charge users. That really sucks for you guys, grooveshark is legit, I use it every day. If I had to pay for it I'd probably be forced to go back to piracy.
Spotify is alright but it has a much more shallow library than grooveshark.
good vibes only

They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

Maybe develop your own taste in music?

I actually already, willingly, pay for grooveshark. It's awesome.

ROFL, best post I have read today. This really doesnt pertain to anything else in this thread and has nothing to do with racism. It did make me laugh very hard though, thanks! ^^

Its really wierd that for some people in the same country it works and for some not. For example some romanian people mentioned here that Grooveshark works for them, but for me it dosn't. Same ISP....

Problem being that artists aren't gaining shit from record sales, they make their money of concerts, merchandise etc.

but you did not mention one

anyways, opinions differ what art is and what not. i own about 20k vinyl records and some old and new printed arts i paid for. i support art and still wont pay for mainstream "art". the difference is you pay the industry in mainstream "arts" not the artist. we could go deaper in the matter what pop culture is, who created it and why it exist but this would be another topic.

i sometimes like to listen to some easy going pop songs, tv show or a move. i live pretty healthy yet still like to sometimes eat some fat burger knowing its "unhealty". sure i have to pay for the burger but i dont care if i could not get any.

therefore i belive with free "art" platforms people like me at least take notice of the "lesser" arts and maybe spread it and be free commercial.
usa lol
