Software:Aurous (website)

From HandWiki

Aurous was a free music streaming website developed by Andrew Sampson,[1] that pulled content from over 120 sources. Journalists have compared its function to Popcorn Time, a software that made unlicensed film and television streams free and easily accessible.[2][3] It was sued by the Recording Industry Association of America within days of its launch.[4][5][6][7]

Aurous shut down after less than two months of operating and the major labels took control of its intellectual property.[8]
