Seeqpod is offline
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 27 April 2009
So, Seeqpod is offline, after the company behind the music search service applied for bankruptcy protection earlier this month in the face of major label lawsuits.
As previously reported, Seeqpod was a special search engine which specifically searched and linked to audio files on the internet, meaning a search for any given artist provided links to their music as stored on servers and websites all over the world. The music could then be played through a little player widget on the Seeqpod website. Much of the music linked to, of course, was unlicensed, which is why Warner started legal proceedings against the people behind the service early last year, and why EMI following suit with their own, erm, suit, earlier this year.
The site went offline on Friday, though no official comment about the service’s future have, as yet, been given. More when we get it.
