Their official point of view as follows (taken from the official thread in their forum):
“Today we were shocked to learn that one of our main provider for our ContentUnlimited Audio service, “Grooveshark”, has been found guilty of willfully uploading 4,907 recordings for which they didn’t have secured the proper licensing.
Of course, we immediately stopped to include the Grooveshark database in our catalog, until we can understand exactly what the situation is.
How does that impact you, if you are a ContentUnlimited Audio customer:
First, the unlicensed situation concerned only 4907 tracks out of 15 million in the catalog. So most likely, all the tracks that you have been playing in the past using ContentUnlimited were properly licensed.
Second, if you need to work this weekend, do not worry: Though most of our “ContentUnlimited Audio Pro” catalog is now unavailable, the “NetSearch Audio” service is still working, so you can still search and play songs from within VirtualDJ, as usual. Also note that any “cached” content that you have right now on your computer, will still continue to play without any problems.
We are working as fast as we can to understand more about this situation and find a long-term solution to bring back a full and high-quality catalog of properly licensed songs to you.”
So, basically, they have stopped some of it working, are trying to find a new provider and in the mean time they haven’t broken it.. So it will all still work until they find a solution – which is good from anyone who uses it’s point of view (I never have used it to DJ despite using VDJ though – I didn’t like the way I couldn’t import the tracks into iTunes to manage them and how most of it was rubbish quality..)
