Limewire shut down?
So i started up limewire to get myself some instruments, guess what! they're under a court injunction to stop distributing their clients, cease any support. from what i gathered they've been nailed for piracy and illegal music / copyrighted content..

Why anyone would use limewire is beyond me.

The only reason I can think of is to download Afrikaans music, so I'll sport a little evil grin directed at all those people.

Re: Limewire shut down?
well folks, it seems as though everyone has their own opinion of limewire... as much as I'd HAVE to agree that it was a virus-infected POC, i did find much needed media files there... as a lover of good house/trance music and as somewhat of a disc jockey i found all the good underground stuff there... and that stuff's hard to find!
oh well.. now the wait to witness the succession of the infamous "Limewire"

I actually used this site a while back, but the music was not up to scratch back then and it wasn't updated very often.... turns out my account is still active too
You have rescued me from a future of silence (cos i'd rather sulk in pitiful silence than listen to pop)
