Let the consumer decide how to consume - any that oppose this will find themselves in a new dark age. History is simply repeating itself as those that oppose advances in technology, and its effects, will find themselves dominated by it, quickly becoming relics of the past aka dust.

I think that they're running the safest operation of the services that you've mentioned. The music companies would have to individually sue each private webhost that has publicly searchable MP3s. And shutting down Project Playlist wouldn't be too much different than trying to shutdown Google... Another service that does the same thing is http://www.g2p.org/ and then there is always http://radioblogclub.com/ (but I think that they're hosted overseas in Europe...). The argument could be made that these companies are making money off of it even if they aren't hosting them. But then again, so is Google, right? All of these sites have Google AdSense plastered all over them. Could be interesting.</p> <p>Honestly though -- the IMEEM thing isn't too much different from Pandora.

Observe Yahoo, Google et al current stance and defense (think linking/caching). If imeem has a DMCA it will protect them. If the DMCA fails, all of 'search' will fail - this cannot happen. Information includes media, and this must remain democratized, searchable, findable, playable.
