It's a dangerous business to be in. As soon as you get big enough, you'll get sued by the same people who sued SeeqPod.
Yeah, but you get credibility in the process.
You should look into integrating the Songbird Web API. It's worked really well for places like the Hype Machine and SkeemR. http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Developer_Intro/Webpa...
It would be even cooler if it had an option to create a playlist, like fizy.com does.
Search results not bad.
there's no "about" or "company" link. I want to know more...
a smidgen of info easy to miss: http://the-songs.com/copyright.php
totally missed that smidgen, thanks!
I'm not too knowledgeable about this particular industry (outside of the mainstream lawsuits), so I've got a couple of questions:
1. Do people generally think this line of thinking (it's not our responsibility) will work long-term?
Furthermore doesn't it confound the responsibility thing that this service is specifically for searching for music rather than a tool that is used by a subset of users for "illegal" material.
2. Does a service like this pose risks for those sites that do have illegal content? Is it now easier to find and sue or otherwise put them in a legal/financial bind?
