I use Grooveshark when I am on the computer (90% of my day). It's excellent for listening to music I do not own (yet), and for discovering new music (very important).
However, I also have devices that don't have internet, so I buy songs I want to hear more of from the iTunes store (since it's DRM free now). Then I upload those purchases to MP3tunes and mSpot so I can stream them to my phone and iPad when I'm sick of the songs on my car iPod (I go a long time between syncs).
So I use Grooveshark about 90% of the day, and iTunes on various devices the other 10%. It saves me money, and I get to find new music - but, I'm also supporting the artists I want to hear more from.
--edit--
Also, pumpkin, if you have devices with a cell connection, it's the same as wifi everywhere. My iPad is always with me, so I can stream through mp3tunes or mspot whenever I want, and I also have tethering through my phone so I can download through iTunes to my laptop whenever I want. The future is already here!! It's just really expensive!
And to those who feel they need the songs on their hard disk: what is the difference between that and having a playlist that references streaming media instead of local? If I can upload my iTunes library XML file (only 2mb) to a service and simply reference my media hosted elsewhere, that's a much better use of hard drive space. Bandwidth is cheap.
