Google has withdrawn its application Grooveshark Android store. Google's move comes months after Apple did the same in his shop and hours before the company representatives to appear before a subcommittee of the U.S. Congress to testify about piracy and digital market. Google has justified the measure, arguing that the application violated their conditions of service, reports Cnet.
The company has not specified what kind of violations in question. The recording industry has maintained for months, a long legal dispute over the site COTENA, a digital radio, which allows Internet users to upload their songs and share them. The service is home to some six million songs and the record label EMI filed a lawsuit against the site for violation of copyright which ended in an agreement between the parties.
But Universal submitted a few months later other piracy lawsuit is pending. Google should go to that committee to defend against the charges of the services industry that house, and take advantage of links to sites providing content without having the relevant rights and advertising support them.
