which categorizes streaming of copyrighted content into the same felony category as downloading.

This will likely determine the fate of the serivce, as will the Senate’s decision in September on Bill S9.78, which categorizes streaming of copyrighted content into the same felony category as downloading. Grooveshark is a great service, however it faces serious consequences for its business model which promote unfair competition due to competing with other music streaming services that actually pay the licenses. Grooveshark does pay EMI royalties, but the majority of their library is unlicensed and they make profit from it.

YouTube is also being sued by Viacom, and won the initial round: an appeal is in process: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._YouTube,_Inc. These two cases are very similar and their results will significantly shape the future of copyright law.

After about 5 albums, it cuts out. Can’t access through grooveshark.com either.

SUGGESTION: Proxy option? Some way to counter the ban.

It comes straight from Grooveshark, which means no malware, fast speeds, and safe IPs. It’s a brilliant little app; it’s been successful for me so far. It’s similar to stripping content from youtube; as long as its hosted, you can download it.

We have YoutubeDownloader for downloading 10 minutes of video from Youtube.

is there something like the above for software? I need Adobe CS5.5 (and don’t tell me to buy because I afford it nor do I want to risk downloading from torrent).
