Grooveshark Co-founder Josh Greenberg Dead At 28

Posted by samzenpus on from the rest-in-peace dept.

alphadogg writes: The tech startup world has been shaken today by news that 28-year-old Josh Greenberg, co-founder of recently defunct music sharing service Grooveshark, was found dead on Sunday in the Florida apartment he shared with his girlfriend. No foul play is suspected, but the local medical examiner is conducting an autopsy, according to the Gainesville Sun. Grooveshark was shut down in April after the company was threatened with legal action and possibly hundreds of millions in damages by several big music labels.

    We should be thinking of the family, especially his parents. My son also died at 28, one-third of a decade ago.

    When things like "happy birthday" can still retain copyright, then I have zero respect for all copyright.

    In his honor, I plan to launch a streaming burials site, where you can watch people being laid to rest 24/7. No, I will not pay any royalties to the families of the deceased.

    I plan to call the site "GraveShark".
