I'm not sure what this is. I'm guessing a music sharing site, based on the fact that typing "owner of a lonely heart" into the search box results in a bunch of System of a Down, Beatles, and Lindsey Lohan songs (because apparently Yes is a figment of my imagination), but other than that, I'm at a loss.

Did the old grooveshark have a direct link to the mp3 file of the song before? I missed that one.

Also, how is this running with that feature? Is this hosted on the moon?

5$ they're just a proxy for some public ftp mp3 index, using grooveshark name and style to bootstrap visits.

Poor choice of TLD, the io registry will capitulate with a takedown just as fast.

I don't know how fast that was, but my company already blocked it. So I don't think it could have been that fast.

Based on the name... It seems impossible that the people behind this site are not aware of what happened to the real Grooveshark. In fact, they probably have messages and communications about it.

That means when the RIAA and friends go after them, they will have a strong case to pursue willful infringement. That's not something to mess around with.

And it won't take very long either seeing as the owner didn't bother to mask his whois....

Next they need grooveshark's excellent queuing interface.

Since all IP of Grooveshark including trademarks and visual assets have been transfered to the music industry this service will receive a CnD any minute now.

Never used original, but this does not bode well for security: grooveshark.io/search/xss"<script>confirm()<script>
