Interesting news today as
a New York Judge has ordered an injunction effectively shutting down
Limewire as we have known it.
That game of whack-a-mole continues!
Funny when you think about it because Limewire predates the iPod by just a year and iTunes store by nearly 2 years (
source). The even funnier thing is that whoever is doing this thinks this will stop anything? I'm not saying go out and pie-rat, PIE-rat, PIE-RAT! but c'mon now. How many of these services are there...not including BT...and never minding some of the more old school forms of file sharing? If you want xyz file/mp3/program/what-have-you, you can get it, if you know what I mean
and this really does is inconvenience.
But hey, I'm sure some big law firm got a gazillion dollars out of the deal.
So apparently Limewire has plans to go legit, a la Napster and we'll hear about another great victory in the fight again pie-rat-cy.
