这项备受争议的音乐分享服务Grooveshark的文章已经挂在墙上很长一段时间了，现在这项服务已经一去不复返了。Grooveshark在官方网站上发布的一条消息中，对其开展业务的方式表示遗憾，表示已与各大唱片公司达成和解，并建议用户使用Spotify或Beats Music等其他服务。

公司的完整声明如下：

Dear music fans,

Today we are shutting down Grooveshark.

We started out nearly ten years ago with the goal of helping fans share and discover music. But despite best of intenti***, we made very serious mistakes. We failed to secure licenses from rights holders for the vast amount of music on the service.

That was wrong. We apologize. Without reservation.

As part of a settlement agreement with the major record companies, we have agreed to cease operati*** immediately, wipe clean all the data on our servers and hand over ownership of this website, our mobile apps and intellectual property, including our patents and copyrights.

At that time of our launch, few music services provided the experience we wanted to offer ­and think you deserve. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case. There are now hundreds of fan friendly, affordable services available for you to choose from, including Spotify, Deezer, Google Play, Beats Music, Rhapsody and Rdio, among many others.

If you love music and respect the artists, songwriters and everyone else who makes great music possible, use a licensed service that compensates artists and other rights holders. You can find out more about the many great services available where you live here: http://whymusicmatters.com/find-music.

It has been a privilege getting to know so many of you and enjoying great music together. Thank you for being such passionate fans.

Yours in music,

Your friends at Grooveshark

目前还没有关于定居点本身的细节。上周，一名法官向陪审团敞开大门，要求陪审团对每首被视为侵犯版权的歌曲处以最高15万美元的罚款；庭审中考虑了近5000人，这意味着Grooveshark可能要承担数亿美元的损失。
