Grooveshark Turns Scandal Into Opportunity

If Monica has taught us anything, it’s that fame of any kind can launch careers, so let’s hope Ashley is listening… she has her Myspace and even has a song for sale on AmieStreet. But what really differentiates Grooveshark from AmieStreet is the fact that Grooveshark is built upon a platform of promotion.
