Seeqpod’s founders must feel like Mike Robertson about now. Just as EMI is suing the MP3.com founder for his Sideload site, the label and its Capitol imprint have now filed suit against Seeqpod for copyright infringement, VentureBeat writes. Warner already sued Seeqpod, which doesn’t host tracks but provides a search index and player for them, in January 2008. Unlike Warner’s, EMI’s case is personal – just as it targeted Robertson personally, the label has named founder and Seeqpod CEO Kazian Franks and investors Raf Podowski as Shekhar Lodha defendants. Not only that. EMI also filed against Ryan Sit, a San Diego developer whose Favtape music search site – which plays music by mashing up services offered by the APIS of Seeqpod, Last.fm and Pandora. Favtape is currently down.
