Guys, first of all, thanks Cory for supporting us with this post -- your work along with Larry Lessig's were the main pillars on which we built Grooveshark.

Hi everyone, I'm Andrew and I work for Grooveshark ::hi Andrew:: and I apologize if my endorsement is offensive for anyone.

That being said, I felt it necessary to respond to Tazzy's question:

We actually are an independently built and managed p2p network that uses similar architecture (it's p2p) as Limewire, but by no means are we trying to dupe any of our users.

Our community allows users to live their music through a 'musical wikipedia' wherein they can read, review, and edit just about everything in our site, connect with friends, and get recommendations for songs (kind of like Last.fm but you can buy the songs directly from us), and when you share songs, you can then get discounted or free songs.

And yes, we have a good one, two, or three lawyers to help us out here.

But the most important part of our team, in all honesty, is our community that is helping us to change the industry, for the better, member by member.

Thanks again guys !
