what more fun will the government take out of the internet ? google has ruined youtube since it took over..............yahoo has been ruined with its purple format..........now its grooveshark.

when grooveshark is banned over here, where else will there be to go on the internet ?

.. i'm pretty sure google made youtube, but yeah man that's a pretty big possibility seeing as what thy have all done to the internet it's kind of tyrannical if you ask me, with all the scada systems open over there you would think thy would worry about securing them before trying to stop piracy ... (starting looking in to proxys and vpns)... and the answer is about a million places you just got to look

If they are found to be operating illegally they will be blocked.

It has nothing to do with the government. The companies that own the material being distributed illegally have gone to court to argue their case. If the court agrees with them they can instruct the UK ISPs to block access to the illegal content.

There are plenty of legal music streaming services to use. Google and Yahoo! are free to do whatever they want with their sites just as you are free to create your own site.
