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."

    From the article:

    "UPDATE: As several people have pointed out since this post originally ran, Grooveshark.io appears to be little more than a clone (or a skin) of an “MP3 search engine” called MP3Juices.se, which I only recommend visiting if you’re a big fan of ads (and crappy UI). The copyright pages are identical, the privacy policies are identical and, most importantly, the catalogs of available MP3s are identical. (Thanks to Ryan and David for bringing this to my attention.)

    Whether or not “Shark” and his team have bigger plans for the domain in the future remains to be seen, but based on these recent revelations, it’s hard not to see this as a group of clever programmers riding the wave of a big news story."

    So it's bogus.

    It's a clone of MP3Juices. Grooveshark is gone. Not to mention they signed their trademarks over to the RIAA so this will go offline at a domain level in no time.

BASIC is the Computer Science equivalent of `Scientific Creationism'.
