Grooveshark is a grey market music streaming service. Like Pandora they offer a music streaming service, however unlike Pandora they do not pay royalties on the music they offer.
Grooveshark offers a free stream supported by advertising and an ad-free VIP tier. The VIP tier currently priced at $3 per month. Starting today, December 1st, the price will triple to $9 per month.
Grooveshark VIP will become Grooveshark Anywhere and its benefits will remain the same (no ads, streaming to desktop and mobile apps, etc.), and a new option dubbed Grooveshark Plus will emerge that brings all of Anywhere’s benefits minus the mobile streaming. So, if paying for music without being certain that your favorite artists are being supported floats your boat, definitely jump on board before tomorrow and you’ll be grandfathered into the $3 rate until you stop paying — or until Grooveshark goes under.
