I was referring to the music industry in general, who did fail to adapt to the rise of the internet and focused on trying to stop pirating rather than create new avenues of consumption that appealed to the new generation of listeners. I think we can both agree on this point. I'm not really interested in arguing about the piracy industry as it opens up too many emotionally backed arguments that naturally disregard logic in favor of subjective terms.

Right, it's just that that's the industry Grooveshark is in, not the music industry. They're trying to muscle into the music industry with their userbase. But they'd never exist if they hadn't assumed users would share tracks illegally en masse from the start.
