He claims the legal consequences fall on the website owner for not securing their website directories properly. Whether or not this is actually true is debatable. I would imagine though that all the attention would be on well known file sharing sites such as Bittorrent and e-mule, and not on regular web servers like momandpop.com. I mean, with all the millions and millions of websites out there, how can the RIAA possibly keep track of them all? It's impossible.

It has a fairly nice UI and you can rate the quality of the songs in the list. The site essentially grabs files from all across the Internet and displays the list it grabs...usually finds what I'm looking for. Not to mention, you can't download the files (from what I know) so your conscience stays clean. :) If all you need is to search the Internet for music (i.e., you have a song stuck in your head and you only want to hear it), then go to songza.com (no download).

If I remember correctly, Songbeat allows 50 downloads/month. As about your other concern, I agree torrents are a lot safer. However, I never really heard someone being targeted from unprotected servers. These MP3 files are available to everyone simply because some people don't know how to hide them from search engines. Although, you still got a very good point. ;-) Yes you’re right it’s a bit like Songbear, the only difference there is no restriction on the max. number of songs user can download.

I am curious however if downloading music in this way is safer than using torrents since you would be actually downloading off various servers and not directly downloading and uploading from a specific batch of users on a known torrent site. Any ideas on this? This sounds a lot like songbeat, i believe that program made the songs found by seeqpod downloadable.
