Streaming music service Grooveshark has responded to a lawsuit filed against it last week by Universal Music Group. Unsurprisingly, the company is strongly denying claims that its own executives uploaded a number of infringing songs to Grooveshark. ”

Universal’s claims rest almost entirely on an anonymous, blatantly false internet blog comment and Universal’s gross mischaracterization of information that Grooveshark itself provided to Universal,” says general counsel Marshall Custer. “While Universal has deliberately engaged the media prior to serving a copy of the Complaint on Grooveshark, Grooveshark intends to fight this battle before the Court, not in the press. Grooveshark welcomes the opportunity to present the facts to the Court and has full confidence that it will prevail in the litigation.”
