    You admit though that somebody's making a lot of money selling drugs to kids to treat a disease that was essentially invented in the 80s?

    Grooveshark is profitable, even with having to spend most of their money on lawyers and being shut out of mobile devices for so long. If they had backed down they'd be dead, I thin…

    Same here, it seemed like a big decision to give it up but I forgot about it overnight. Once you realize it's the worst way to talk to girls ever invented it kind of loses it's val…

    Nice, well written article but... how about just lowering the damned prices on Mp3s before giving up on selling music? Like to $0.10 a song.

    Is there also a team that sits around and thinks up ways to make Facebook even creepier? They're doing a good job.

    Radio stations don't pay to broadcast music, what's the difference. Grooveshark is just a more confusing kind of radio station. If the labels had any sense they would use their dat…

    How is it different than YouTube? Besides nobody's losing a dime from Grooveshark, same as nobody is making a dime from Spotify. Including Spotify.

    That's almost a different business than indie rock/folk music, it's always expensive to cram garbage down people's throats.

    I think because Facebook does something very smart: they keep it jumpin'. They change things on an almost weekly basis, which everyone complains about, but it keeps them coming bac…

    I'm fully willing to say that to their face though. If I made a dumb website that accidentally caused even one divorce I'd shutter it, Facebook must cause hundreds every year. It c…

    Who voted this advertisement up, I wonder? Fuck you Facebook. I'm never signing back up, your site is harmful to people, everyone who works there can go to hell.

    They asked for $500,000 to make a Twitter clone and they got it . Who's laughing at whom?

    Because people who use Facebook post such great content? Srs?

    Yeah it was based on an anonymous blog comment and I think it's still ongoing. I asked a couple guys at Grooveshark about it and they didn't seem concerned at all, they described i…

    They nearly killed newspapers in this country, which has nearly killed investigative journalism, which for whatever noble reasons they had is reeeealy bad karma. If anybody wants t…

    You could pirate Angry Birds too if you really wanted to but they found a price point that defeats that and made $100 million.

    25 cents might be a bit low but 99 cents is very reasonable when you're competing with free. It's not that I'm complaining about feeling ripped off when buying music(although I do)…

    Angry Birds made over a hundred million in profits so far, I'm saying maybe the music business should examine it's pricing structure. Don't get me started on Ebooks or TV shows.

    They can sell Mp3s but not for 99 cents a song... especially when Angry Birds costs $1.99. An entire album should be 99 cents or less. 25 cents sounds good to me. EDIT: my point is…
