Anyone know what patents they held? I wonder if music industry will leverage them to take down other sites who are acting within the law via patent suits.

I don't know enough about how the patent system works. Wikipedia says Grooveshark is a service of Escape Media Group Inc. A few results show up in Google's patent search for Escape Media Group Inc.

I'd guess it's simply legal hygiene to defend against a phoenix.
