Grooveshark: This Can’t be Legal
You like free music? I sure do. The only thing I like more is free music anywhere I go. That is exactly what grooveshark provides, think of the popular “Pandora” but on steroids. Grooveshark is a streaming music player that is 100% free and allows users to listen to any song their heart desires at the click of a button.
I have never been a huge “Internet Music” guy but I kept forgetting to bring my iPod to the office @ work and this was my solution, and I must say it is awesome. It’s like a web-based iTunes that lets you play full songs. There is an immense collections of music- I have yet to find a tune that Grooveshark didn’t have, from the major artists to the hole-in-the-wall garage bands. Because GS is user-powered your apt to find any music your heart desires there, and you can listen to the whole songs for free, even make and save your own play lists to share. How is this legal? I’m not exactly sure, and because Grooveshark is relatively new who knows what copyright/DRM issues they may encounter when they gain more enough attention.
For now its just a great service that allows you to get favorite jams wherever you have a computer with internet access and flash player installed (GS is built in Adobe Flex). Think I’m pullin you leg? Jam out with Grooveshark right now!
