Whats this I hear about limewire being taken over by the RIAA, I think their court case ends this month so we’ll know soon enough.

http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15881 - ive resheareed this a bit and believe this is one of the most concise informative articles on the matter. Not that long

Don't want to Bash Limewire here, but there are Far Better Alternitives out there. Hmmm......

[thedrifter]

yes will as the article says they are all falling to the RIAA. Im not sure but i think that because limewire is the most used program then you have the largest music "library" at your disposal

Hey Drifter, I would suggest maybe furthering your research on this subject matter. LW may be the most downloaded p2p Program, but NOT the most widely used. There are several different ways to look at the opposing question. See Links Below.

IMO LW is Washed Up. Time to Move On. BT is the Only Way to Go for Now.
I Agree, It does seem like the MAFIAA is hitting hard right now, but I'm Thinking there may be 100's of Millions of people Downloading and Sharing Files. I figure they have a Very Tall Task ahead of them if they expect to even remotely Slow Down what we all Do and Love.
In 2004, the estimated Figure was 70 Million people. Even back then, this was Huge. They will NEVER Stop what we do. They will continue to threaten and attempt to intimidate, but They will NEVER Win.
SIN (strength in numbers)

ya not that long ago i dl'ed and used utorrent. Thats the most used for large files but limewire is the most used for music files as i believe. anyhow i downloaded a movie on utorrent but had problems playing it. rather just use watchmovies.net oh well.
