Universal sue music-streaming website Grooveshark again

-

Universal Music were in court again last week, trying to take down music-streaming website Grooveshark.

The major label had previously attempted to sue the site for mass copyright infringement, with Grooveshark arguing that it adheres to a strict takedown policy of any illegal material.

Grooveshark have also remained adamant that they are protected by the Digital Millenium Copywright Act, but prior knowledge of the infringing material is what could see them face staggering fines.

But now Universal have reportedly found a technicality in US copyright law that means they can sue Grooveshark for any content released pre-1972 that appears on the site.

Grooveshark, unlike its competitors, allows users to upload their own audio files, which, critics say, enables the sharing of copyrighted music.
