Noob app any way.
Hopefully an encouragement for people to move to better ways of downloading. Gnutella's been crap for a long time already.
who gives a fuck, VirusLime really sucks:dabs:
This is why people "give a fuck":
Sure, there are definitely greener pastures now in terms of filesharing, but this case is huge from a legal standpoint. Being one of (if not) the most influential p2p protocols around, it sets a massive precedent for other cases to follow.Quote:
Despite BitTorrent being the leading file-sharing protocol for several years already, LimeWire is most likely the most installed P2P application on the market. In 2008 LimeWire was the most installed P2P application with an impressive market-share of 37%, compared to 14% for runner-up uTorrent.
yea, im still with the "you gives a fuck crowd". fine ban the app. horrible app anyway. even still the app is gonna be floating around on other sites for a while anyway. besides, you cant ban the network it runs on.
Record companies? What about the artists? Of course, it has always been about the record companies, hasn't it. The RIAA has just gone to show that they don't give a hoot about the artists, as long as the execs can get their fix.Quote:
“In January, the court will conduct a trial to determine the appropriate level of damages necessary to compensate the record companies for the billions and billions of illegal downloads that occurred through the Limewire system,” the RIAA added.
What makes me laugh is that drug taking is supposed to be illegal in the States, yet here is a judge that is basically allowing a group of drug abusers the rights to reclaim billions of dollars so that it can be sent to some South American Cocaine facility, for their own personal pleasure.
Who gives a fuck? what if they go after uTorrent next?
Then you can use Vuze, deluge, etc.Quote:

Successfully shutting down Limewire sets a precedence unfortunately.
