I'm sorry - i mean, i do realize that you're probably under the age of 15, but if you're posting here i'd assume you were somewhat of an intelligent individual. Money doesn't grow on trees, and neither does free software. Contrary to popular belief here, it does require income to keep a business (such as limewire) running. Now personally i don't think 1) Having ads at the bottom of the screen or 2) having the option of paying $6 to have a version _without_ the ads is much of a price to pay. Limewire is HARDLY HARDLY greedy. I'm suprised they manage to get by on the little income they DO have (these people do have families you know).
