Right, Grooveshark's entire business model is centered around DMCA protections. Only "user-generated content" affords a DMCA safe harbor defense, so all the copyrighted music they host has to be uploaded by individual users who each assert that they have the rights to distribute the song.

Why can't the labels just send mass DMCA takedown letters? Are users really uploading songs faster than they can be taken down?

Do you have a link to the full story? DevX101's link doesn't say anything about DMCA takedown notices.
