This post is about adverts in Limewire.
*This post is NOT about spyware.*

Limewire have been going for over a year. They contribute to make Gnutella better, and they give us a version of their software for free.

If we don't like the free version, we have three options:
1. Pay $6 to get the Pro version, with no adverts.
2. Spend time trying to remove the adverts, and in the process cut off Limewire's revenue stream.
3. Use something else.

Option 3 is clearly not as simple an option as it first seems, judging by the amount of posts regarding option 2.
Option 2 will kill Limewire - and judging by the amount they do for the Gnutella community, it won't do much good for Gnutella.

Adverts aren't all bad, and $6 isn't a lot of money.
And no, I don't work for Limewire - I'm just trying to judge the options we have with an open mind.
