SeeqPod Files for Bankruptcy, Report

"SeeqPod, the popular 'playable media' search service that many music sites use as the foundation for their core offering, has filed a petition for Chapter 11 yesterday....

with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Northern District of California," reports Robin Wauters at TechCrunch.

Seems like the Bay Area start-up has been crushed by record companies who have launched major lawsuits.

Last April, I interviewed Seeqpod co-founder and CEO Kasian Franks. I've republished the interview today.

is a web-based SeeqPod-type site that allows for downloads. Some good writing on new artists too, which is good too see. So many of these new music sites don't seem to actually care at all about the music.

The SeeqPod story is an all to common one in today's technology environment where every innovation seems to be met with litigation. Indeed, since the cost of litigation alone can quickly suck away any small startup's venture capital dry, lawsuits are a very effective tool for eliminating unwanted competition. Of course, this does not necessarily mean those looking to close SeeqPod should declare victory.
