Grooveshark, streaming site shut down by record companies. Another big win for assholes like Prince. Grooveshark is now history. Record companies sued it to the point it could no longer exist. This was where I got many Prince boots. boo All you others say Hell Yea!! ![]() | |

Don't care, I've never heard of it. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Good. The closer we move to end the era of entitlement, the better. There's simply no way a healthy music (or any other industry) can survive with mass exploitation - ie distributing artists works against their will, for free. . Remember that it's not just about those fools who were on stage at that silly Tidal launch, there is great discussion and concern amongst artists/musicians of all levels. . It doesn't make sense to me that we're on a forum with huge music fans, dedicated to music and yet it sometimes seems there's more sympathy towards artist exploitation than the artists themselves. . Do we not want a recording industry that nurtures long term talent like Stevie Wonder (who's greatest successes came around 17 albums into his career), Aretha Franklin (who had a similar grinding build into the greatness we all know and love) etc?

RIP... Oh well. It doesn't matter, the record industry will never reap the profits they have once made, greedy ass bastards. People are all over the place on what type of music they consume and purchase. There's so many ways to stream music over the world without paying... Grooveshark was a spoke in a wheel, it shall be replaced. Now the music industry is throwing aroung millions to get the US Congress to make smartphone, iPod / MP3 players manufactrues carry AM / FM radio on their devices. The dumbasses don't get it... folks have walked away from "public radio" because their product SUCKS.

I was literally depressed finding out about this. Instead of clogging up my computer/phone space, I'd just access Grooveshark to listen to any and everything. Fucking Spotify doesn't have bootlegs, live performances, remixes, etc. It doesn't have obscure works. [Edited 5/2/15 15:17pm] [Edited 5/2/15 15:17pm] Maybe ![]() ![]() ![]() | |

Prince probably didn't know about it, or he would have had his unreleased songs removed.
Change it one more time.. | |

I am so pissed. That is where I found all my Lewis Taylor shit. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

It was very popular, but I could not believe it continued to exist with unofficial works and no licenses. | |
