Grooveshark settle EMI lawsuit but face uncertain future

It has been reported that illegal music-streaming site Grooveshark have signed a licensing agreement with EMI Music Publishing after being accused by the company of breaching of contract and copyright violations this past September.

This is a recent development in the on-going legal battle between EMI and the on-line streaming site that allows users to upload songs that other users can access. The law suit is nothing new for Grooveshark as content posted on the site are often pirated or leaked resulting in record companies and music publishers like EMI demanding they take them down.

Grooveshark’s days may be numbered, with the company in the middle of at least two other label lawsuits, as well as competition with other streaming services like Spotify and Pandora leadership that are fully licensed.

The owners of Grooveshark have yet to make a statement.
