Dejan esta despedida en su web:[6]​ Today we are shutting down Grooveshark.

We started out nearly ten years ago with the goal of helping fans share and discover music.

But despite best of intentions, we made very serious mistakes.

As part of a settlement agreement with the major record companies, we have agreed to cease operations immediately, wipe clean all the data on our servers and hand over ownership of this website, our mobile apps and intellectual property, including our patents and copyrights.

At that time of our launch, few music services provided the experience we wanted to offer and think you deserve.

There are now hundreds of fan friendly, affordable services available for you to choose from, including Spotify, Deezer, Google Play, Beats Music, Rhapsody and Rdio, among many others.

Por si fuera poco, en su carta pública de disculpa promueven alternativas como Spotify, Deezer, Google Play, Beats Music, Rhapsody y Rdio, entre muchos otros.

Bajo los términos del acuerdo, Escape Media no tendrá que pagar nada a las grandes firmas, pero tendría que pagar $75 millones de dólares si violan los términos del acuerdo.
