Limewire might have gone sour..

Okay… that pun might not have been intended, but it seems limewire might be shot down soon…
Grim yes.
The lovely software used to download copyright-free stuffs, and illegal things as well had been asked to back down. Someone did tell me he was having problems using Limewire last night…

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), has found a verdict that could literally lock on to the Lime Group.This being that it has been discovered the Lime Group didn’t take proper measures to minimize copyright infringement. This was noted by a federal court… and that same federal court has asked that Limewire disable “the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and/or file distribution functionality, and/or all functionality.” In other words, that’s like saying ‘close shop’.
What isn’t known is how much Limewire would pay in ‘damages’, but there hopefully might be a way to resolve things.. Let’s wait and see, shall we?

In the meantime, suck some oranges

    Are you for real? Oh my goodness,how in t he world am i going to get my music if they close down Limewire? This is NOT good news :/

    You could try zshare,net, 4shared.com, mp3-skull.com
    The thing about using them is, you have to get the song(s) at one go, unlike Limewire where you could pause and resume later.
    So you either get the song(s) as you start downloading or don’t get them at all
