Napster and Kazaa down: Next is LimeWire

By Blog Bloke August 6th, 2006 | 5 Comments Buzz thisBuzz it Share this on Facebook

After first taking out Napster and then Kazaa, next on the chopping block is LimeWire. The world’s largest record labels (Universal Music, Sony BMG, EMI Group Plc, and Warner Music Group Corp.) are sueing the makers of the file-sharing program LimeWire, saying the software allows users to download music without paying for it.

The suit seeks $150,000 in damages for every song “willfully infringed” by LimeWire. Haven’t we all heard this before? Keep trying guys. I’m looking forward to the next generation of p2p programs. Via Blog Bloke.com.

    3. You can’t go wrong with Limewire…It’s a proven P2P network that has lasted the test of time.

      An add-free version of that is Frostwire. I’ve also heard the record industry has given up on policing downloads.
