I don't get it - I'm currently listening to the latest album by James on Grooveshark. I was able to dial it right up and play it directly, which I always understood to be a copyright violation in itself (Pandora always allowed me to choose a song as a seed, but it wouldn't play that song right away because of copyright laws). I gather that Grooveshark also has an autoplay feature that suggests songs, although I'm not sure of the algorithm that it uses. But why is this service able to play in Canada if Pandora is not? I guess I should just enjoy it for as long as I can until some faceless bureaucrat shuts it down as well. Great find, Kyle!
