A clone of Grooveshark does rise from the ashes

We all know that Grooveshark is dead, but a group apparently reincarnated the famous music streaming service, although in a very murky way.

In the week beginning Grooveshark.com closed after a trial claiming $ 736 million in damages on breach of copyright. By violating the terms of his settlement, Grooveshark will pay $ 75 million per label.

Grooveshark.com still has its message of apology on its own website , detailing the circumstances of its closure. But head to Grooveshark.io , and you'll find a ghost site.

How Grooveshark has lost the plot
Jacob Siegal BGR has received an email from someone who calls himself "Shark". Shark has been linked to Grooveshark it a few years ago, in another e-mail sent to The Verge.

Shark revealed to have assembled a team that took care of to clone Grooveshark.com Grooveshark.io . The latter is fully operational, and users can now go to research, listen to music and download tracks. The strangest thing is that this new platform includes the same copyright-protected files that were right Grooveshark.com.

The site is online since Shark would have started back up everything on the site when he began to suspect that the disappearance of Grooveshark was near. Shark claims to have saved 90% of Grooveshark.com and is currently working to complete the remaining 10%.

If the idea is to recreate the user interface on Grooveshark Grooveshark.io, how long the site will remain online remains to be seen. While the site seeks to cover only with a warning page, and still claims to show the page is indexed a stream, I have found nothing about this in my research.

Since Grooveshark.com was stopped after years of legal battles, maybe it will stay online for some time before the same fate. Shark mentioned "putting all infrastructure servers / domains in place, and that it will be complicated to get them off".
