Goodbye Grooveshark???
Uh-oh.
If you're a fan of the music streaming site Grooveshark, you'd better enjoy it while you can. Universal music has filed a lawsuit against the site and are asking for major $$$
If you've never heard of Grooveshark, it's a wicked site where you can search, stream and upload music. It's a great way to discover new tunes you would have never had the chance to hear anywhere else. It's also a fantastic way to create the ultimate playlist.
Apparently, Universal have obtained evidence proving that Grooveshark employees posted pirated songs on their service and are seeking damages of up to $150,000 PER violation. That makes the total lawsuit worth close to $17 BILLION!!!!
VS.
(**Legal mumbo jumbo: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act protects sites like Grooveshark in that it makes it ok for USERS to upload copyrighted tunes to the sites, but it's NOT OK for employees of the sites to upload any copyrighted music**).
The Grooveshark camp said they deny these claims and says "the record company's case is wholly reliant on an anonymous, blatantly false internet blog comment".
Either way, I'm pulling for the site.

Addictions can be good... and bad.
The technology can be a dangerous thing.
Lately, I've been completely addicted to a few sites and apps.
#1) Etsy ~ I love to shop. I do. And last year I discovered this website where artisans of all sorts can post their creative and handmade items for sale. Now while you can find some amazing, cool or truly unique items, you can also come across some serious crap that makes you think... WTF!!!! That's no longer Esty, it's Regretsy. Boys, tons of cool stuff on there for you too! Things can get a bit pricey, but there are definitely some deals to be had as well. I'm thinking of buying these.... (someone, please tell me to stop. I'm begging you. GAD!).
So if you're into the 'Handmade Revolution' like me, I'll see you at Make it Van!, which is happening November 24rth - 27th at the Croatian Cultural Centre. Imagine Etsy style vendors all squished into one room. Good times. Bring your wallet. For realsies.
#2) Instagram ~ This is a wicked iphone app that I use on almost a daily basis. This app can help turn even the crappiest photographer into... a LESS crappy photographer. If you have the app, find me on there and friend me n'kay? I'm under Carmen Cruz. Here are a few of my pics (made MUCH prettier thanks to Instagram).
#3) There's a Spanish website I've discovered where you can watch fairly new movies (anything that's now featured on Shaw's VOD) as well as TV shows, FOR FREE!!!! Yes, the site is in Spanish, but all the English programs remain in English, with Spanish subtitles that can easily removed with the click of a button. The best part of this site is that you don't have to download the movies, you stream them instead. It's brilliant. You can basically kiss your spare time goodbye. If you're interested in finding out more about this site, email me (carmen@carmencruz.ca). I WAS going to post the site here, but I'm scared that doing so might get it shut down. Lame, I know, but I'm a bit paranoid. Big brother is watching...
