Spotify is 100% licensed. AFAIK, Grooveshark is more like Napster in that it's a free-for-all with user uploaded content, though they have worked out deals with some of the record companies.

I personally like grooveshark, because it literally has everyone song I want.

That's a pretty good sign that it's not really legal.

Sad that that's a good indicator, still, no?

Spotify also started out with a lot of unlicensed content before they came clean in early 2009:

Right but they solved that problem in 2009. It's 2011 and Grooveshark is still mostly pirated content.
