RememberGrooveshark , the magical website that let you stream any song you wanted , in high calibre , for free ? Did you ever wonder how such a affair managed to avoid legal annihilation ? Trick interrogation ! It has n’t . Its lawsuit destruction is here .
The Next Web ’s Drew Olanoff report Universal is suing Grooveshark for illegally uploading racecourse — at $ 150,000 a track . That ’s a lot per track . Also , there are a ton of them — Grooveshark ’s honcho is accused of uploading 1,971 songs of alone — so Grooveshark potentially owe around $ 15 billion . Grooveshark does not have $ 15 billion . Grooveshark would be lucky to even afford the lawyer fee to go up against Universal . And so , it ’s almost sure that they ’ll keep out down , at the very , very least . Goodbye Grooveshark — if it seemed like you were too good to be true , it ’s because you were . I ’m just shocked it take year to happen . [ TNW ]
