RIAA Sues LimeWire Over Piracy

[Malisk]

RIAA claims that LimeWire's business model allows it to profit from the piracy trade, and its failure to block copyright content is a sign that the company is actively encouraging its users to pirate music.

lol.. You know, that logic can be applied to a whole lot of legitimate services.

Actually, the larger they are, and the larger communities they have, the more likely it is to happen.

[Shof]

riaa is sueing everyone because they can :(

[Soham]

not the mashboxx lol

[[bear]]

Good. There is no place in the world for Piracy. Get a job and BUY the music.

[acies]

i dont care.

limewire sucks....

if i was them my defence would be "our application sucks, only noobs use it anyway"

Stop trying to act like everyones going to be impressed with you comment.

Limewire is a fine application, unless of course you had trouble using it :rolleyes:

OMG, I could get a job?! And can buy music??!! My god you'r a genius!!

Too bad am stupid and life sucks, so why bother :/

[Gavin001]

Well yeah the RIAA does suck. I've used Napster, Kazaa, Limewire...the whole nine...the thing is they all end up getting loaded with spyware and corrupted downloads courtesy of the RIAA. Now 50 of my closest friends use WASTE and BT...and between us you can find most anything.

Yeah i aint a big fan of the RIAA either lol! But u are all right Limewire is gettin worst and worst there is alot of dodgy stuff on there now pretendin to be wat its not....so time to migrate :p

sooooooo Wats this 'WASTE' program like?? :shifty:

[Sniper101]

RIAA can Eat my Ass for all i care i hate them. :angry: Limewire have made efforts to got Legal just look at there site and the App its self. The filters that are there work perfect :) all mine are legal so i think the RIAA should shut the F**K up for once.

getting abit over top sorry just i hate them lol

Get a job and buy my music for me. If it means that much to you, then this shouldn't pose a problem. You'll be doing the right thing.

[P!P]

If they charge $150,000 per song, wouldn't they owe like a couple hundred trillion?

[Soham]

thats like gdp of france and uk

[-Hiroshi-]

Wow the music Nazi's strike again... -uninstalls it anyhow JUST to be safe-

I have a job, and I buy music. I also download music, because some files are too hard to find, plus I'm not going to spend $20-25 every single cd, it's just ridiculous.

These P2P companies need to set up shop in Swededn then. At least I believe its Sweden that allows

even illegal P2P, I 'm probably wrong though, its somewhere around there though.

When you download Limewire there's a "I will not use this for copyright infringment" option you have to check before you can download... I doubt Limewire will settle and I hope to hell they go to court and win.

so.. lets do some math here

Illegal occurance happens once every second

1 day = 86,400 seconds

86,400 times a day

86,400 x $150,000 = $12,960,000,000

thats a lot of money a day :|

Wow, (reads up on Limewire.com)...founded in 2000...thats 6 years in operation....(does the math)...

$28,382,400,000,000 (roughly)...$28 trillion dollars??? :|

Hmmm...another one of those...stupid RIAA boredom cases...they must have a list with a pin and just close their eyes and stick it somewhere..."today im going to sue them"

:laugh:

[macstorm]

RIAA can't sue to every LimeWire user over piracy, therefore they sue intermediary :shifty:

[Bobster]

First they sued Napster and everyone switched to WinMX. Then they sued WinMX, everyone switched to LimeWire. Now they sue LimeWire and everyone will move on to some other P2P program...

There's always BitTorrent though which IMO is a lot better than LimeWire.

[I am Reid]

Whats ironic abotu this is that my version of limewire is pirated.

Mind-boggling, i know

Yeah, I'm all over BitTorrent these days :)

Now I don't like Limewire as a program, but I hope this doesn't affect Cabos, which uses the same network.

[chimera963]

i really hate the RIAA...

WHO DOESN'T? They are the devil's henchmen!

Yeah really, DRM (N) I mean, we are getting restricted for things we bought and own.. oh wait, its a LICENCE! So now they can say anything, and even ripping a CD is illegal, thats ridiculous.

Its not like I dont buy my music though, but whatever. CDs arent that expensive anyway, and good thing I live in Canada.

[Nashy]

Limewire has really degraded in the past month or so. I never had trouble getting files, but now, there's a lot of junk.

I still use it, and have been using it for years :-(
