I'm not really surprised. I've always been astounded that Grooveshark (which is an awesome service, I use it everyday) was able to do what they do.

I figured that the labels were simply building enough evidence to simply destroy the service outright which will clearly send a message to anyone else who wants to do something similar.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I agree. I'm a paying customer, I love Grooveshark (and the jailbreak-only iPhone app that I've missed since switching to the 4S), but it's always been obvious that it's just a matter of time before they get shut down. I'm surprised they've lasted this long.

Came here to say this. The only viable strategy is to do as much as you can to apease them, while gently moving the industry towards innovative music products. Its their content, they have the right to do what they want with it (as frustrating as it may be). Can't give them the finger and expect them to work with you/not sue you later.
