I'm not sure what I'm doing with this post. I like limewire. I think the developers are TRYING to make an honest living from their work. They have failed miserably.

Not only do they bundle spyware and topmoxie (which are dishonest ways of making money), but they have been consistantly evasive and even deceitful to users regarding their use (see history posts above).

If you are doing ethical business you do not need to avoid, hide, or "spin" the truth to make it more palatable.

I'm afraid the limewire development team has always known exactly what they're doing (if not at first, then after loyal users told them about it).

-------------------
I want to see an official answer, by limewire, to the following questions regarding their free limewire software and installer:

1. What, non-LimeWire-essential, software do you currently bundle in the latest (non-beta) LimeWire release?

2. What does each of these softwares do (their purpose and their method)?

3. Do these softwares ask me for permission every time before they "run" and before they perform an action?

4. Do these softwares tell me and/or create a log (that I can look at) of what they're doing.

5. Can I choose to not install these bundled softwares?

6. Do you answer and explain the previous five questions, clearly, to your users in a place where they must see it before they install limewire (on your website and during the installation)?
