In a new game of whack-a-mole, Ars Technica is reporting that Grooveshark is live once again, despite the seizure of the Grooveshark.io
Just a few days after illegal music-streaming service Grooveshark apologized and shut down, a mysterious person identified only as "Shark" reconstituted the site at Grooveshark.io.
In response, the major record labels appear to have obtained a temporary restraining order wresting away that domain name. According to Torrentfreak, the labels filed a lawsuit under seal in New York federal court. The site reports that US District Judge Deborah Batts issued a seizure order "directed at the site’s operators, hosting providers, and domain registrar NameCheap."
[...] Meanwhile, a true game of whac-a-mole appears to have begun, with the team behind the new Grooveshark telling Torrentfreak that they have simply moved their website to grooveshark.vc.
"The harder you come at us, the stronger we’ll fight, and now after this hit we’re more determined than ever to keep Grooveshark alive and kicking," the site's anonymous operator said.

Why bother? There is plenty of servers in Idontgiveafuckistan which is how all those pirate movie sites stay up and running, they just grab a dozen sites like .to, .cn, .ru and so on and if the *.A.A manages to get one? Well again plenty more located in places that will wipe their ass with any papers served. Just look at my how many countries have companies offering "seedbox hosting" for the torrent lovers.
Ya know I USED to say "both sides should sit down and work out a compromise" but after seeing them try to destroy somebody for a half a dozen Titney Rears tracks, seeing them commit bribery to get "forever minus a single day" copyrights shoved down our throat? Fuck them, the whole damned lot. I truly believe that piracy is the market's way of saying "Ur doin it wrong" and there is nobody more determined to get it wrong than the *.A.As. I mean for fucks sake here it is in 2015 and you still can't just buy a single video that will "just work" on any device with or without an Internet connection...DaFuq? I can do that with games, I can buy with Steam and not be online for a month and still be able to play my game, or I can go buy a DOS game on GOG, load up a DOS emulator on my phone and play it anywhere at anytime...yet I can't just buy a damned .MP4 of the show I want to see and run it on anything or even just run it without DRM requiring phoning home, even 40 year old shows like ST:TOS or Dr Who...seriously?
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.
