       | reproducing Shazam's algorithm, their lawyers came after them and
       | eventually the article was removed.

       | There were questions as to the validity of the threats their

       | when going up against the scale of companies.

       | There was an open source audio fingerprinting system called
       | echoprint, which actually implemented the shazam algorithm in a
       | way that made it hard to claim it's the same approach as shazam,
       | but in reality it was almost the same. The hardest part about
       | these kind of services is designing the fingerprints so that you
       | can search them effectively. The audio part is interesting and
       | fun, but actually less critical.
