Here are the questions I have every time I see these music lawsuits:
How many of the people using this Grooveshark service are present/former/would-be Universal customers?
How do you prove this? Should you attempt to prove it before deciding to sue?
What if the people using Grooveshark are just too cheap or too poor to ever buy Universal releases? Is that possible?
On the flipside, what if they are also Universal's best customers? Is that possible?
The article says they named specific uploaders in the complaint. Maybe they have been able make some assumptions about them as existing/potential customers? (e.g. They have some assets and/or they've bought Universal releases in the past.)
