Grooveshark Resurrected Out of US Jurisdiction 29
New submitter khoonirobo writes: Less than a week after music streaming service Grooveshark was shut down, it seems to have been brought back to life by an unknown person "connected to the original grooveshark" according to this BGR report. Seemingly, the plan is to get away with it by registering and hosting it outside of U.S. jurisdiction. From the article: "It’s still in the early stages of development, but the team hopes to reproduce the old Grooveshark UI in its entirety, including playlists and favorites."
Let them shut it down, I'm done... (Score:1, Funny)
Already working on my own streaming system that I'm just going to keep private, never share, and only use with friends and family. On the 30th grooveshark shutdown, on the 1st I already had downloaded 90gigs and counting of music that I was listening to on grooveshark. For every artist I could think of I grabbed the discography download and by the 3rd I had grabbed around 200 gigs and had everything I lost plus more.
Now I'm working on a client/server app in C++ using protocol buffers for network communication and gstreamer for decoding the music. I'm going to host all this music on the server and provide everyone I hold close a nice alternative to putting up with this bullshit any more.
First I was on Imeem... then I lost all my playlists when it turned into myspace music. (Fool me once)
Then I was on grooveshark and then I lost all my playlists when it got shutdown (Fool me twice...)
Yeah, I'm not getting fooled again assholes. I was happy to view ads on grooveshark and more importantly, control what song I wanted to listen to and when. No radio + skip bullcrap that people *pay* for. No no no.
Thanks to you guys I'm pirating like a mofo now and simply don't care anymore. I'm hosting all my stuff, putting up my own walled secret application and simply not making anything public so we aren't dealing with this kind of crap after amassing a nice playlist over a few years. I'm SICK of losing it.
Thank god I'm a software engineer with over 10 years in the business using C/C++. Piece of cake to create something that scratches me and my families musical itch, you just pissed off the wrong person.
