Wow, well I can certainly tell why you might be angry about paying $200.00 and then getting infected. However you might want to think about a couple issues before you allow your type A personality to get the best of you and make you come off sounding like a complete jerk. First, Limewire is open source, meaning not only is it offered for free, but that the people that provide it do so based almost entirely upon their free time, and that most developers are not paid for offering their services. Also that your threat of making business bad for them is actually punishable in a court of law, I know it sounds weird that empty threats could be punished, but that doesn't make it any less true. So personally I would think that rather than accuse others of not doing their job and properly providing you a product that you also realize that it is your responsibility for the things that you download. Not only for liscensing purposes, but also making sure that you are not uploading or downloading files that contain virus, worms, spyware, adware, trojans, etc...... As it is everyones responsibility to maintain their own systems integrity. So think about these things before you threaten to ruin someones business, especially when they do the majority of the work for this product at no charge. Personally I would like to thank the entire Limewire team for the product that I continue to enjoy for all my music, program and text file needs. Keep up the great work guys, and if I catch a virus, then I guess I'm doing something wrong and need to fix it.
