anybody know why spotify is mentioned so much more than grooveshark?
- kupo 15y agoSpotify is 100% licensed. AFAIK, Grooveshark is more like Napster in that it's a free-for-all with user uploaded content, though they have worked out deals with some of the record companies.
- Greg12x 15y agoI personally like grooveshark, because it literally has everyone song I want.
- kalleboo 15y agoThat's a pretty good sign that it's not really legal.
- bengl3rt 15y agoSad that that's a good indicator, still, no?
- dstien 15y agoSpotify also started out with a lot of unlicensed content before they came clean in early 2009: http://www.spotify.com/uk/blog/archives/2009/01/28/some-important-changes-to-the-spotify-music-catalogue/ http://www.spotify.com/uk/blog/archives/2009/01/28/some-impo...
- shinratdr 15y agoRight but they solved that problem in 2009. It's 2011 and Grooveshark is still mostly pirated content.
- Chrono 15y agoAs far as I know, barely anyone use Grooveshark in Sweden while practically all my (University) friends use Spotify. Doesn't Grooveshark have some quite dodgy habits when it comes to paying the artists/using legit music files? Or was that some other music streaming service? If nothing else Spotify has received a lot of good press in Sweden simply because it is Swedish. Patriotism :) And this was a Swedish study after all.
