I used to work at Grooveshark back in the day designing and building ads and themes for the site.. Boy, did miss the culture and product and community sometimes

It was a pretty cool music platform. I was sorry to see it go but given the circumstances there wasn't much choice. It's a pity, it could have probably transitioned into a legit music service. The interface was nice and it had some unique features.

From what I remember the thing that sunk it (when it was inevitably sued) was the fact the boss had made all the employees share mp3's to help the platform take off.
