Free invites to Grooveshark

http://beta.grooveshark.com/

Okay here's the information on it.

Grooveshark is a revolutionary music community that rewards users for sharing their music. Grooveshark was founded by three University of Florida students hell-bent on changing the music industry, and the world, forever. Grooveshark's goal is to compensate everyone in the value chain from users to rights' holders.

It has a nice interface and a good concept, but it costs money to download the music. Really all I use it for is listening to songs (they're free to listen to and are in good quality), but you can also promote and upload your own music and you can make some money off of that.

Just make a post with your e-mail and you'll get it.

Never Pay for file Sharing! :D

To make money sounds good but to me it's open to more than just an ip address been given out for a person to receive money personal and financial information would have to be provided which spells troubble in my eyes personaly i don't think many people will like this idea if they do they enjoy a risk.

To pay to download music is silly i would rather buy a cd in the shop. This also spells more trouble if the laws and the incorrect copyright permissions are not given or if groovesshark don't comply with them then i would consider this a very large problem because of the personal factor if this were the case. i have not looked at the site as i have no interest these are just examples of my thoughts from what you have wrote that's how i judged the topic.

Could this be a big hoax to catch people or is it legit similar to itunes? where you pay 70p per download and it then adds into the stats for the charts?

People should never part with their personal details in this morden era it is so simple now to track a person down a ruin their lives completely unless they are at least 99% sure something is legit that includes everything

It's legit. 99 cents per download. Listening to the songs are free though, which is kinda useful.

Also you can promote your own music and the more people who download it, the more money you get.

Like I said the site's kinda useless especially since we all have sites like what and waffles, but it you need an invitation nonetheless so I'm offering it.

How are you so sure it is legitimate do you physically know this new origination of people or you just say it's good because you are a member? also how do i know your word is good that involves another risk of handing out my bank details and address if you send money in the post who are you?

Another thing which sounds strange is why do you need an invite to enter a site you have to pay to download music surely a company who is legit and want's to sell music will promote it by not introducing an invite system to enable the maximum amount of user's.

Please answear my questions because i think many members will be very impolite at you and this idea.

I'm a member, spreading the word isn't bad, but this part of the forum is for bittorrent related invites and accounts only.

What do you mean your own music? If you mean music I've downloaded that no one has ever heard of, then I have around 75 GBs of that from #it, granted that website isn't run by the RIAA.

Sorry but what sounds so strange?

I already said it would be useless for downloading music since it costs money. But I said you could listen the songs in good quality for free and you can make money by uploading your own music. So for those who wanted to try it I'll give an invite to them. I myself won't use it but I just stumbled upon it.

For the record, I think it was free when they started (when I joined) and I'm assuming they got into some legal troubles and now have to charge money. They also flipped their motive towards promoting unknown bands, for instance, you could promote your own band, after they started charging.

P.S. Virtus, you can close your own thread, click thread tools in the upper right. ;)

Hopefully that answers any questions.

Edit-
Hm. That failed.

Well I'll try to answer-
You can use this for listening to music without downloading, making some money, promoting music you MADE (don't upload anything illegal. i don't know if you'll get in trouble but the site's legal) like with your band, etc.


Edit-
Well I've had a request for an invite so I'll leave it a bit longer. If people start flaming or if no one else wants it I'll close it.

You should close it regardless, since it's in violation of forums rules. Which has already been made clear to you. But I guess that's irrelevant, eh?
