A moving news: one of the founders of Grooveshark, the online music download site that had just shut down a couple of months ago (April 30), died at the age of 28. Is about Josh greenberg, who was found dead at his home in Gainesville, Florida, Although it was not reported whether it was a suicide, it would be the strongest hypothesis, although his family said that the boy "had new projects."
Greenberg was living with his girlfriend, but she was absent this past weekend, although according to his mother Lori Greenberg, he was "more calm than depressed" about the end of Grooveshark, according to statements to the local newspaper The Gainesville Sun.
Remember that Greenberg founded Grooveshark in 2006 and was one of the pioneers in offering unlimited access to music by "streaming", but, unlike other platforms like Spotify, they did not have many licensing agreements with record labels. Finally, in April of this year, he agreed to take down the site he had created so as not to have to pay 736 million dollars in penalties.
