I don't want to be a dick about this, but I'm a little annoyed whenever I pay for a product - thinking that "free updates for 6 months" means "free updates for 6 months" not "works for 6 months then you have to pay again".

If the product stops working alltogether after 6 months, then the product is a subscription based service, not purchased software.

F*** it, I'll pay. I like limewire. But I'll be out looking for another gnutella client now.
