The **RIAA** and many record labels have never liked **Grooveshark** much even though the music streamer claims it's DMCA-compliant and responds to takedown requests. Two new open source projects – **Groovejaar** and **Groove Shredder** \- are guaranteed to make the RIAA & CO like Grooveshark even less. To be clear, Grooveshark has nothing to do with the either.
