Grooveshark gives fully-legal streaming a shot with 'Broadcasts' radio service

The Wall Street Journal reports that Grooveshark will launch a new service in January, called Broadcasts. Instead of offering on-demand songs, as Grooveshark's current service does, Broadcasts will have radio stations curated by users. The service will cost $0.99 per month and will have no advertisements. Just as importantly, all of the songs will be fully-licensed, with royalties paid through the same government-mandated system used by Pandora and its ilk. By going the radio route, Grooveshark doesn't have to negotiate directly with record labels. - Jared Newman,PCWorld [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
