We all knew eventually TimeWarner would exert some pressure on AOL for owning/running winamp.com as a portal to steal TimeWarner artists' work. Yesterday, winamp took down their search engine (here's the current result for all searches). Is this just the first step by TimeWarner? How long will winamp continue to last?

I would've thought they'd take the My Locker/My Play feature down first. Considering 3GB of MP3 storage and sharing is almost as bad as searching for MP3s.

I think that search engine just proved the Nullsoft guys are hoping to be fired.
