Grooveshark music streaming app is looking to be able to re-enter the Google Android app market after the company has claimed that its application is legal and therefore should be allowed to go back on sale.

In an open letter, Grooveshark said: Goggle has not specified what it was in their Terms of Service that we allegedly violated, but there does appear to be some confusion about whether Grooveshark is a legal service.”

The letter, which was published on digitalmusicnews.com, continued: “So let's set the record straight: there is nothing illegal about what Grooveshark offers to consumers.

“Laws come from Congress. Licenses come from businesses. Grooveshark is completely legal because we comply with the laws passed by Congress, but we are not licensed by every label (yet).”

The Grooveshark app allows its users to be able to post songs and then share them with other users and currently has more than six million songs within its catalogue.

So far Grooveshark has been removed from sale from the Apple App Store while it has also received complaints from EMI and Universal Music Group.

The open letter from Grooveshark continued: “We pay for our streams and we actively negotiate with virtually every single content owner. We have taken down over 1.76 million files and suspended upload privileges to 22,274 users. These are not the characteristics of a company that is dedicated to copyright infringement.”

Grooveshark are said to be hoping to have their app available for sale once again with both Apple and Google in the future.

Google are still yet to comment or give a reason as to why the Grooveshark app was removed for sale from the Android market.
