Limewire files motion to have case dismissed

article published on 20 July, 2008

The popular P2P firm LimeWire has filed a preemptive motion to dismiss the case brought against them by the record industry in 2006 over "inducing copyright infringement." Limewire is the only company that remains, most likely only becuase they have the money and the grounds to fight back. Other P2P firms such as BearShare, WinMX andGrokster have all shut down or settled their cases for ... [ read the full article ]

Whats up nobrainer. Five posts all in news discussion and all dealing with piracy.

I haven't used limewire in years. I never will either. You're right about calling it slimewire.

I agree that Limewire has long outlived it's purpose...unless it's purpose is to deliver horrid audio files and malware.

Agree w/ 7th Singer on limewire. Audio quality not the greatest and
really not worth the effort to use. Much easier to just pay the .99 and download from itunes to my ipod.

angkuj, not that I use Limewire but with LW it is possible to get high quality tunes without DRMs for free. Vs DRMed, low quality music for a dollar. How can you stand to listen to that crap?

But it is easier.

That's about the strength of it.. a horrid easily caught system full of the riaa/mpaa spying and using entrapment to catch the unwary. Add to that the things like photoshop, put there by adobe with phone home software included and all the nice malware botfarmers like me putting our backdoor trojans up and all you have is a system for abuse.

Ever seen the files that start downloading before you select them? those are nasty things.. It would help the rest of us greatly if people had to undergo a basic competency test before being allowed out on the internet.. like say manually connecting to their isp's servers instead of blindly running some spyware riddled disk they provide. At least then they would have some basic skills.. that they would have to go to the library or whatever and read up on.

Of course that does sound like a catch22, but really it isn't. Gatesco have made computers too easy for every moron to use.. the only trouble is.. you make something "idiot proof" and the world just makes a better idiot, with even less skills so perpetuating the dumbing down circle. Some countries invest in the future, others invest in dumbing down the population and turning them into sheeple "consumers".. Every day I see more and more of them.. not equipped by the education service to survive in anything but a thought controlled surveillance environment..

Think for yourself... never.. it's not allowed.. those who think for themselves are dangerous and must be monitored and watched.
