Well, we do have Grooveshark. But it probably won't last. :(

If it's lasted this long it will probably keep going for some time yet. They have a pretty clear song takedown policy, so any music being shared on grooveshark is likely being done so with the full consent of the label.

Grooveshark is also paying the music owners royalty from a share of their ad revenue.

Thanks for the link. I stand corrected.

IIRC, Grooveshark only pays EMI royalties, and UMG is taking them to court. Sony and Warner have no deals.

I'd be curious to see what Sony and Warner choose to do.

It doesn't matter. UMG is the elephant in the room, they'll do whatever UMG does.
