SeeqPod Music Search Engine Sued By Warner Music Group
Warner Music Group may have a tough road to hoe, however. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, search engines (like SeeqPod) are allowed to have links to material that happens to be illegal as long as it isn't hand chosen and is the result of a search.
That said, Warner Music Group does have a team of highly-paid powerful lawyers and SeeqPod has a small collection of twentysomethings in a dorm room somewhere. SeeqPod might be a bit outmatched.

While your second and third paragraph are correct, here is the answer to your first question: We're wondering when media companies are gonna get tired of suing everyone in sight? Answer: Never. That is the reason they exist. Having spent many years in the music business (helped found Emusic.com), even tho they often over step their boundaries, they are still a necessary evil at the moment. People need to have protection for their Intellectual Properties, or chaos will ensue and e-commerce will suffer as a whole.
