When **Grooveshark** was finally **shut down** by legal pressure from the major labels, U**niversal Music Group** ended up with the domain name. Now they've apparently decided to **monetize it with "A New Offer To Grooveshark Listeners."**

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Type in the URL for defunct music streamer Grooveshark.com and you are now taken to ScoreBig.com where a banner reads "A New Offer To Grooveshark Listeners." The "offer" is discount tickets to select concerts via ScoreBig.

Details of the deal are unclear.

ScoreBig is a well funded company, having attracted [$54.5 million in investments](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/scorebig?ref=hypebot.com#/entity) since launching in 2009, but for now the domain remains [registered](http://www.tucowsdomains.com/whois?ref=hypebot.com) to Universal Music Group.
