That legal notice shows for all LW versions. My advice is to ignore it unless it bothers you greatly.

The Gnutella network is still strong & lots of content out there.

There are a couple of LW adapted versions that do not show the legal notice.

For all LW installers see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/instal...r-version.html

For the special edition LW see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...e-edition.html

The court injunction last month was to prevent the LW company distributing their software.
Next January they will go back to court where the RIAA will seek damages. Last I heard the LW company wishes to compromise with the RIAA. Thus we can expect LW to join iMesh, BearShare & Shareaza on a commercial network, not the Gnutella network.
