AS Sphinx told you LimeWire has nothing to do with the Gnutella net it is just a app to get you there. What amazes me is you comment about Google.Below is the the results of a google search for LimeWire the first sites you click on are scam sites. As a matter of a fact all of the sponsored links are scam sites.
Now where is the integrity in that.

I'm sure you know a lot more about Google's search engine algorithm... so you could probably make a better more integrous system... you're tottaly Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Why don't you go apply for Google and give them your ideassss.

Listen - the point is Google does make an attempt to provide completely UNBIASED results with their searches - even their sponsored PAID FOR results are secluded in sections where you know where they are - they're not overwhelmingly taking up the entire search - and additionally, they have a screening process for their paid results. They refuse scam sites, inappropriate language/content, and generally have systems in place to check up on that ****.

Knock them for it if you like, I think they do a helluva better job and spend a lot more of their time developing a search engine that produces quality results.

By the way - your link? The top search result is Limewire.Com, and those "scam sites" are not scams. But okay. I guess anyone with attmpts to make a buck are scams these days...

People. :P

i downloaded limewire yesterday, was looking for a couple programs. today i scan my machine and find 40 infected files... in a "complete" folder... that i did not even create. all stuff that i did not even download! this has got to be one of the shadiest networks i have ever used. thoroughly disappointed, not to mention the 1 program i did download was a totally different program AND infected as well... how do people get away with this kind of stuff???

There's not much in place to counter it, that's for sure. But what can they do? It's just upsetting that such a great p2p is now getting so screwed up.

I don't know about you but I always thought that anytime you only spoke half truths and charged for something that was free it was a scam. And I bet you that 99.9% of the rest of the world does to. I think they only charge $25 for LimeWire basic which is free. And look at all the things they promise it is all unlimited wow what a deal.

Perhaps you can point out to the rest of us why this is not a scam after all it is the first site on the google search.

"You will find all of the latest tools for accessing the largest peer-to-peer networks on the planet. You will also find online tutorials making it easy for you install and learn the tools provided, a collection of tools that include video players (allow you to play the latest video files) access to an award winning support team, CD burning application and much, much more…"

"If you are experiencing technical difficulties and would require support, our support team guarantees to solve your issue on first contact or your money back! Simply contact us by email, by phone or through live web-chat function located in the member’s area."

" We have 3 teams offering support around the clock and 7 days a week."

Don't be a dick and think 99.9% of the world is on your side. It's not a scam. Damn. Everyone thinks any marketing attempt is a scam.

The software is free. You are paying for the online help and support and the online tutorials for the lifetime of the membership.

K?

That's what some people like. They're clear and state that straight on their website. It's a SERVICE. People who buy it WANT that service. There's a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE in case it's NOT what they're looking for.

That's ethical, so get off your scam-ridden horse. If you call that a scam, then I guess you call any support/information product a scam, eh?

Such as technical support for computer companies. How dare they fill a need in the marketplace.

By the way - those are sponsored results and clearly marked as such. For information about LIMEWIRE itself, the FIRST result for Google is Limewire.Com.

My original point is Google makes a pretty damn successful attempt at providing relevant, unbiased results, and I wish Limewire would do the same.

Confidence trick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Scam)
Jump to: navigation, search
A confidence trick, confidence game, also known as a con or scam, is an attempt to intentionally mislead a person or persons (known as the "mark") usually with the goal of financial or other gain.

The confidence trickster, con man, scam artist or con artist often works with one or more accomplices called shills, who try to encourage the mark by pretending to believe the trickster. In a traditional con, the mark is encouraged to believe that they will obtain money dishonestly by cheating a third party, and is stunned to find that due to what appears to be an error in pulling off the scam they are the one who loses money; in more general use, the term con is used for any fraud in which the victim is tricked into losing money by false promises of gain.

Most confidence tricks exploit the greed and dishonesty of their victims. Often, the mark tries to out-cheat the conmen, only to discover that they have been manipulated into this from the start. This is such a general principle in confidence tricks that there is a saying among conmen that "you can't cheat an honest man."

Sometimes conmen rely on naïve individuals who put their confidence in get-rich-quick schemes such as 'too good to be true' investments. It may take years for the wider community to discover that such 'investment' schemes are bogus, and usually it is too late as many people have lost their life savings in something they have been confident of investing in.

You mean to tell me that advertisement isn't deceptive and misleading. I am guessing you make a living ripping people off how can you justify that. And if you think people want that service maybe you should check out some of the threads in the link below it is the search results for the word scam in this forum. Perhaps you should pull you head out of you *** and realize that people do not like to be riped off by people who do not want to work for a living but would rather steal it from people that do.

And maybe while you are at it you could maybe beat it through that thick scull of yours that LimeWire Does Not Control The Gnutella Network It Is Only A App That Takes You There

Ohhhhhhh God, so I'm using the wrong name. I read about two sentences of your post because you're just an ******retentive nit-picky *******. No offense :P

The point is my point - not who's running it. So, the whatever network should "get on that" or so I could only hope.

So use a diffrent net
