[QUOTE=Siduron;25665566]Why do they bother? Using Limewire is like swimming in a sewer water processing plant.
I'm sure that anyone trying to download music from there got what they deserved for pirating anyway.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't mind since I got to go swimming for free stuff.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;25665832]Frostwire any good?[/QUOTE]
It's like putting a condom with a few holes over yourself.
It's safer than limewire but people still share virus infected files over it.
You're all fools for acting like this is a good thing. It's just a way for the media industry to gain power, now that Limewires down, whats stopping them from going after the developers of utorrent for instance?
Never used limewire though, not sure about how it functions.

Wouldn't that be a holy condom?
I think the Catholic Church would like to talk to you.
Ah well, I remember those days...
I also remember constantly getting an advertisement with a Bill Clinton impersonator. Fun times...

Save me a lot of time to clean up the mess <insert song name>.exe causes.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25665504]To everyone saying "nothing of value was lost", you do realize that this sets precedent to go after uTorrent, Bittorrent, Deluge, so forth right[/QUOTE]
what
limewire is very different from utorrent and bittorrent
Good. It crashed my last computer after my dipshit friend installed it on my computer.
[QUOTE=Extroll;25666605]Good. It crashed my last computer after my dipshit friend installed it.[/QUOTE]
yes because the program itself is the problem
Good, now people at my school will stop telling me to download shit using Limewire.

Why should anyone bother to make music?
bummer.
I'm going to miss all those viruses.
I had one that when I launched my PC it said "I did not have sexual relationships with that women. I did however buy her gifts from ..."

Technically it is different, yes, but Limewire isn't illegal either and the judge didn't give a shit.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;25665395]... Fuck.
Anyone know any other form of music software?[/QUOTE]
iTunes.
Spotify.
Youtube.
And the list goes on and on.
[editline]27th October 2010[/editline]
And I know youtube isn't software. I'm too badass to care though. :c00lbert:
I stopped downloading music about a year ago, and I have no regrets.
I listen to Last.FM radio if I want to find something new, and I go to [URL=http://grooveshark.com]Grooveshark[/URL] if I want to hear something specific.
If you want high-quality audio of something, then obviously you need to download it. There are places for that. Usually I just casually listen to stuff while working, though, so it's not extremely important to me.

Revenue from live performances. Bands get popularized via P2P, then sell out shows. This is the new business model. The recording industry is a joke.
Beyond that, there's also the fact that some people actually like writing music (I'm one of them & I'll never sell a recording).
This was my first P2P software. When we swapped computers my bro forgot to back it up and we never bothered to do anything about it.
R.I.P Limewire. You'll always be transferring files in my heart. :love:
R.I.P, was alright

Of course, they earn more from live performances.
But don't you dare disregard albums because thats plain foolish.
I buy an artist's album, then go to see them live if they are worth it. I don't understand your point at all.
Lime wire was a dangerous toxic waste dump of CP.
Wow, R.I.P LimeWire. :(
I didn't know people actually still used LimeWire. Thought most people learned about torrents and what not.
Thank the fucking lord IMHO.
Now they will all move onto torrents I guess.
[quote]RIAA lawyers have told the judge that LimeWire costs the record labels about $500 million in lost music sales every month[/quote]
So 500 m at 12 months a year comes out to $6,000,000,000 a year. That would put them right above Laos so far as GDP goes based on that "lost revenue" alone. Additionally, that would be approx. $16 million a day, and with one digital song going at $0.99, 16 million songs a day. So, around 694,000 an hour, 11,574 songs a minute, and 192 songs a second. That sounds really, really questionable, to put it lightly.
EDIT: Of course we could also assume the RIAA is putting a price of like $500 on each song, which would make this more plausible but far more bullshit.
limewire was awesome, because no matter what you searched for you always got: hot teenage girls fucking cum tits anal sex porn scooby doo eminem
I thought limewire died almost 8 years ago.
I used to use LimeWire when I was like 12.
This will not affect my pirating time in any way.

To, you know, support the people who make the music?
Remember the Napster days, lol.
