Limewire Ordered Shutdown by Judge

[Arachon]

What... Limewire? Oh hi there, I didn't see you back there in 2003.

Seriously though, I think it's a bit pissy that they're allowed to shut it down anyway, I mean, this basically equates P2P Software with Piracy, which is a load of bollocks.

People still actually use Limewire?

Good. I don't really care so much about the music pirating, it's just now I wont have computer illiterates using it to download malware onto their computers and then telling me to fix it.

I thought they could get away with it because it wasn't the company putting the music up, it was the users?

Obviously not anway....

They should have been closing down limewire years ago. Being this late everyone who wants it has it.

Limewire still exists? Wow, I thought that people stopped bothering once it became apparent that everything was either poor quality music, poor quality porn, or poor quality porn disguised as mid-quality music.

EDIT: Oh, and this will accomplish nothing. I can list, off the top of my head, maybe ten easy-as-fuck other ways to get the stuff (Of course, I'm not going to actually list them, I don't like deserving probations), and I'm not even very internet-jazzy.

Might- MAYBE- serve as a good warning, if they're lucky.

Less viruses for us all!
