Musicip and other fingerprinting systems don't necessarily have the ownership information, and some can only determine whether a fingerprint is in a collection determined to be "copyrighted". If you need to have various opt-in information set at the track level (as is the case with imeem), you need more than that.

Why the labels are not building social networks on their own is amazing to me? Imeem's valuation will continue to grow off the backs of content owned by labels (now I sound like MySpace) because the people running labels fail to realize that digital music acquisition is realized with a mouse and not by driving a Hummer to Best Buy.. Check my Elephant Piss rant on Unsprung for elaboration. Why does Imeem need SnoCap? MusicIP should be able to provide the same fingerprinting service? Congrats anyways to Imeem, somebody gets it!
