The message they posted a day before this settlement - http://grooveshark.com/

I'm confused, didn't Grooveshark just provided aggregation and a streaming player with playlist management? The music was not hosted by Grooveshark right?



I thought you could upload to Grooveshark.


You could, I've uploaded stuff from some bands home burned demo discs before. I probably don't have access to any of that stuff anywhere now.


I remember reading that after rights-owners requested certain songs taken down, Grooveshark employees would re-upload them to the service. This made them lose safe-harbor provisions for hosting third-party content.
