Grooveshark made his mea culpa, and bows – ZDNet France

This is the end of Grooveshark, a pioneer of listening
 Streaming music created in 2006. The site announced its closure Thursday
 last after an amicable agreement with record labels and
 RIAA who had sued for infringement of copyright.

 Last September, Grooveshark had lost his case and was liable to duty
 pay the damages, the amount could be as high as
 $ 700 million.

 major record companies, we have agreed to stop our activities
 immediately erase all works protected by copyright
 still in our possession, to give up ownership of the site, our
 mobile applications and our intellectual property, including our patents
 and our copyright “, can be read on the homepage of Grooveshark who admits having committed
 “Very serious mistakes” and apologized “s years reserve” for beneficiaries.
