SeeqPod, the "playable search" engine, has filed for bankruptcy after becoming a target for the record industry. Here are some info related to it.

The major record labels have decided that there can be no innovation without the record labels owning a piece of it, and so both Warner Music and EMI sued Seeqpod for daring to run a search engine.
So SeeqPod company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and is cutting off some developers who were using its API.
The lawsuit is about Seeqpod giving users access to illegal and unauthorized access to copyrighted music, not about how the music is presented. As a user, you have a link where you can go to directly download the file or imbed it directly into your social networking page. This is in the complaint filed by Warner.
