Grokster Radio launched
p2pnet.net News:- Grokster says its new Grokster Radio streaming service will allow users to play tunes from their own music collection, or listen to millions of other other people’s collections.
A co-branded version of Mercora P2P Radio, it’s free and 100% legal, promise Grokster and Mercora, going on, “Grokster Radio enables any individual on the network to be both a listener and a legal DMCA compliant broadcaster.”
Grokster Radio listeners can tap an end-user contributed catalogues with more than 10 million tracks in CD-quality sound, and Grokster will also host several radio stations for independent artists and bands whose music will be showcased through a special tab within the application, it says.
Is Grokster Radio bundled with adware, or anything else? We’ll update this as soon as we find out.

You fool Sherman….we’ll be adressing this and other ‘marketing’ tactics at our next joint RIAA/MPAA meeting, now keep your mouth shut and stick to the plan….I think Brianna has recently installed some new P2P app, there may be another couple of grand for us to grab, release the stormtroopers.

The RIAA’s first victim was a 12 year old girl whose mother bought a for-pay version of Kazaa (actually the normally-free Kazaa Lite) – a scam that not only was selling something that should have been free, but also making deceptive claims such as being a legal download service.
How do we know that the claims of Mercora/Grokster radio being legal would hold up? If people are inadvertently uploading copyrighted songs (some I-radio applications make downloaders also upload), that can be a dangerous thing.
Anyway, the difference between “streaming” and “downloading” is
essentially just cosmetic. There are many 3rd-party apps that capture audio streams and save them to disk – so after deleting the unwanted songs, the end result of internet radio is really no different from downloading through any other P2P.

I’m sorry to offend you if you happen to be a PUSSY. This program is for PUSSIES. If you don’t have the balls to just download the files you want, then they really do HAVE YOU by the balls. Highly reccomended for Fraidy Cat Pussies With High Speed Connections.
Thank You
