Death of Torrent Spy.com

Anyone else seen that the world's best Torrent-finding website now displays the following if you search for anything particularly mainstream (Oasis, Coldplay, Star Wars etc):

"There has been an error with your search

This search query has been blocked at the request of the copyright holder, in compliance with
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA")"

Surely a search itself can't be illegal?
Will BitTorrent's new built-in tracker prove to be a suitable replacement?
Is this the end for yet another file-sharing technology?
If so - where will people turn next?

Not had any problems with it. It might just be some of the trackers.
