That which was demonstrated...

i have constructed the song of your argument people

(A) limewire is more convenient than torrenting entire discographies to get one song because you can't just torrent one song because you want to get the entire discography because you think you might like all of them so torrents are more convenient than limewire because you get the entire discography but if you just want to get one song you're sure limewire is more convenient than torrenting entire discographies to get one song because you can't just torrent one song because you want to get the entire discography because you think you might like all of them so torrents are more convenient than limewire because you get the entire discography but if you just want to get one song you're sure limewire is more convenient than torrenting entire discographies to get one song because you can't just torrent one song because you want to get the entire discography because you think you might like all of them so torrents are more convenient than limewire because you get the entire discography but if you just want to get one song you're surelimewire is more convenient than torrenting entire discographies to get one song because you can't just torrent one song because you want to get the entire discography because you think you might like all of them so torrents are more convenient than limewire because you get the entire discography but if you just want to get one song you're surelimewire is more convenient than torrenting entire discographies to get one song because you can't just torrent one song because you want to get the entire discography because you think you might like all of them so torrents are more convenient than limewire because you get the entire discography but if you just want to get one song you're sure (GO TO A)

it is a beautiful lay but i think buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo is better

Good, one less virus vector I have to worry about my boss getting his computer trashed from

[Mongoose]

I'm amazed that people still used this program en masse.  Soooo 2003.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

I'll have a lot less systems to remove viruses from now too but that's less beer money in my pocket.  Maybe I should sue the RIAA for taking money from me. 

[Klaustrophobia]

so this just says they have to stop distrubting and supporting.  since it's P2P, won't it continue to work for everyone who already has it?

i find limewire has a few advantages over torrents, namely not having to upload and open yourself up to getting caught.  i also find it's much faster for certain things.

[jr2]

i like utorrent, its simple to the point, and you can filter out ips owned by anti-p2p organizations.

PeerBlock (successor to PeerGuardian 2) is really good for a simple way to do that.

EDIT:

since it's P2P, won't it continue to work for everyone who already has it?

Yes. FrostWire runs on the same network... Gnutella.  As does BearShare... yadayadayada.  Now everyone will either just use the last version of LimeWire or switch clients.  Woo. 

[Nuke]

i used several open source gnutella clients (whos names i cannot recall) in the past. at that time kazaa (a ****ing virus of a program) was everywhere, and i was worried it would fall to the same fate as napster, so i sought a more obscure program.

while that may be (and any torrent user who doesnt have an anti-p2p filter installed needs to be shot), i find torrents are safer, on the grounds that many trackers have user comments, and if the torrent contains a virus everyone immediately lets you know about it. with p2p, you really dont know what you get until its downloaded. i avoid downloading torrents from trackers with their user comments disabled.

Yeah, I find even for specific songs, Limewire was probably at the top of the heap. Gargh, time to switch clients.

$1 billion in damages?  I don't think the company should even bother trying to do other business ventures.  They're done for, no doubt about it.  Hopefully the owners won't be put into indentured servitude as a result of this; I'm not sure how fines directed toward businesses work, but I'd imagine that once the business' capital drops below zero, the owners have to take up the slack.

[SpardaSon21]

Not necessarily.  Any sort of limited liability setup for a business creates a firm barrier between company and personal assets of the owner, so while the Lime Group is finished, if the owners were smart to set up a corporation of some sort, they're fine unless a judgment was rendered against them personally.

That's not what Fury said.

[Polpolion]

Anything that might threaten HLP's affiliation with companies currently or down the road is technically punishable.

[SpardaSon21]

True, but this is a purely intellectual and theoretical discussion about file transfer programs, and everyone is talking about the legal transfer of files, correct?

[Polpolion]

By the looks of the rules, it doesn't matter what kind of "activity" we're doing if it "could threaten current or future affiliations with any company in business".

[SpardaSon21]

Yes, but is this capable of threatening current or future affiliations?

[Klaustrophobia]

it was my understanding that there will be no affiliations with companies...
