Limewire has been shut down. Does n e 1 still use that shit?


Back in the late 1990s, internet speeds got fast enough to allow people to share mp3s + videos. Back then every1 had windows computers, and u would just download programs, and these programs would help u to connect + find files from other humans on the Earth. Then bands got all pissed cuz they were like 'they are stealing our mp3s, yall' and they made Napster shut down.

Not sure who uses Limewire, but it was 'shut down' for 'being illegal', but not sure why it is all of a sudden illegal. Seems like it is probs doing the same thing that it did ten years ago.

The company has been forced to immobilise downloading, uploading and searching features, whilst the LimeWire website says the company have been required to "stop distributing and supporting its file-sharing software", adding that "downloading or sharing copyrighted content without authorization is illegal".

Did u even know Limewire was still around?
How do u illegally download albums + leaks?
Torrents? The Pirate Bay? itunes? Amazon MP3? Rapidshare? Mediafire?
What is the best way to download leaked indie albums?
Do u avoid any sort of service that might end up with u in jail / ur parents getting a letter from ur cable provider abt how u broke the rules?

Limewire seems 'kinda bulky'. Miss u Windows era aesthetic. Sorta glad I vibe out on a Mac now and don't run slow ass software that slowly kills my computer.

Wonder who still uses Limewire/Bearshare/KazaA. For some reason I imagine a bunch of people who listen to country music, juggalo horrorcore, and white people who listen to mainstream rap.

Kinda pissed that I just bought the LimewirePro software that was recently mailed 2 me.

H8 it when borderline-illegal services are finally shut down, and then they are like 'We care about music. we're going to rebuild and rebrand, and make a beautiful product that saves/innovates the music industry and finds a way for artists to be compensated for their work.'

In a statement the company said, "During this challenging time, we are excited about the future. The injunction applies only to the LimeWire product. Our company remains open for business. We remain deeply committed to working with the music industry and making the act of loving music more fulfilling for everyone - including artists, songwriters, publishers, labels, and of course music fans.

"Our team of technologists and music enthusiasts is creating a completely new music service that puts you back at the center of your digital music experience."

Jesus. Just help me find all of the music in the world 4 free and make sure that I won't go to jail/get served by a rcrd lbl and then ur service will be pretty chill 2 me.
