Dear Everyone.

I hate that thing you like, and you’re stupid because you like it. As evidence, I present the fact that only stupid people like the things you like. The things I like are much better, by virtue of the fact that I’m not stupid. As proof I present the fact that I don’t like the thing you like, which stupid people do like.

How exactly would that affect anything? Likely wouldn’t…..sure, they can shut down “Limewire” – but there is still FrostWire, and every other “Gnutella capable” app out there to get onto the network…..

Unless they are getting the “app” confused with the “network”….

Gnutella is for the most part decentarlized…..though YES, if they were to take down the immediate “router” or hub that connects each peer with a corresponding “leaf” or Super Node, then yes, that would cause the end of Gnutella….BUT, this article only talks of taking down Limewire.

To that, I say, Go ahead…..Limewire is shite. Frostwire is alright though…..

Let me explain the future to you. It’s called the Cloud. You will not have a hard drive on your computer, you will not have a floppy drive, a cd drive or any other way to save files on your computer. It will all be in the Cloud. Blank CD’s will be banned along with all other media to copy files. All your files will be in the Cloud and PAYED for. They will have access to your Cloud and check to make sure you payed for those files, if not, they take them away from your Cloud. They will tell you this is Good cause it prevents piracy and keeps prices low and you can access it from anywhere you are, oh joy. So you will have the benefits and they will have the control. You don’t want control, you could get viruses, you just want the benefits, oh bliss. Then you can go about your life knowing you are an asset to society living in a Cloud, oh heaven. See you in the future ;)

Computers do 3 things. Only three things.

1. Store Data
2. Manipulate Data
3. Move Data

You cannot eliminate any of these three things. That said, Computers will always move data. It’s your choice how. The RIAA obviously does not understand this concept.
I chose bitTorrent over Limewire because it’s more robust and the source downloads are more reliable.

@#4, I would really like to see the movie companies go after Microsoft it would be a interesting case. As everybody knows Bill Gates has 42 billion dollars sitting in his bank account. But a attack on p2p, or any client that allows is free sharing of information. Is stupid as it’s how the users uses it. Like let say somebody buys a movie from walmart such as saw 6 for example, then rips it and puts on a torrent site. Is the walmart, or the movie company liable for what the user did with said movie? I think not same with limewire, they even protest against such stuff.

if MAFIAA does manage to shut the company down and prevent ppl from downloading the program

Shutting down the company will not prevent people from downloading the program.

There is no way to prevent people from downloading the program and since it is open source there is no way to stop it’s development.

LimeWire may not be the best p2p program out there and even if MAFIAA does manage to shut the company down and prevent ppl from downloading the program p2p will keep on moving and the gnutella network will still exist. However it will set a precedent that will allow idiocies like the FTD/newzbin one.

MAFIAA already lost the war against file sharing and it’ll be shooting everywhere out of desperation now. This will not stop file sharing but will make ordinary ppl/sharers lives harder.

I thought judges were smart people that needed to overcome difficult obstacles to reach their position and it amazes me that NO judge questioned MAFIAA’s claims and figures. You don’t need to be a genius to see that they are adopting premises that favor their pockets – one would have to be too stupid to really believe that all downloads are lost sales… If anything, ppl will at least buy the stuff from their favorite artists just to have the official stuff…

[...] The RIAA has asked a New York District Court to shut down the worlds most installed file-sharing application, Limewire. The record labels argue that the Gnutella-based download client might have caused billions of dollars in lost revenue and that its therefore one of the largest threats to the music industrys revenue.Source:http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-wants-court-to-shut-down-limewire-100605/ [...]

Sure it’s already been said (don’t have time to read all the comments), but limewire is a POS imo. Gnutella 1 is full of viruses and fake files. If one doesn’t want to use BT, at least use Shareaza and Gnutella 2.

This is great!

The court wants to effectively say that the producers of a product are responsible for what their customers do with it!

Imagine the impact of that?

All gun makers will be responsible for the conduct of the gun ownwers!

All WMD makers that export their arms to other countries will be responsible for what the other countries do with them!

All manufacturers that produce non-biodegradable packaging that finds it’s way into landfills, the road side, land fills, and produces toxic crap as it breaks down will be responsible for that.

Every music vendor/distributor will be responsible for every kid that plays Zepp backwards and offs himself!

No, this is great. It will set a president never before heard of ans quite possible be the shot that causes a freaking avalanche of law suits against companies that externalize their real costs.

All I can say is, “Yeah baby, lets get this WAR going on!”

Seems the RIAA has been selling CD’s without the copyrighted owners permission for years…isn’t that a felony (Burning CD’s or copyrighted material and selling it)? Isnt’ the RIAA/US going after China for that same thing….hmmm…Pot…Kettle, Black.

They should just abolish Copyright.

so Newzbin shut down. it reopened. now the ‘industries’ are after it again. they have spent a fortune on this. do you really think this chase is going to end? i dont. i wish it would, i wish it had never started. once it did, it should have been nipped in the bud, not allowed to go on-and-on as it still is now. continuously running and hiding will end up getting sites nowhere. sooner or later they will get caught.
to #89 i am certainly no prophet but i can read. if the ‘industries’ had lost more than they have won, they wouldn’t keep on suing, regardless of the financial and ego losses and there would be more reports on sites like this. as for being a babbling idiot, maybe i am but at least i can see what is probably going to happen, not got my head stuck up my arse, like you, stopping me from seeing that what i want to happen, that the internet will always be available for me probably wont happen for much longer. free downloads? would be great! a lot have got used to it.
you state that ‘You are clearly stating that you want it all free and that sir makes you nothing but a bloody bottom feeder’.
i state to you that you are must be a member of the music type industry and know little other than your own idiotic ideas. like most people, i am perfectly willing to pay for downloads, as long as they are sensibly priced, drm free and quickly available. i will not pay the same price for a download that i am expected to pay for buying a physical disk! nor would anyone else with sense, unless, of course, you are one of those that would benefit from the inflated cost!
the ‘dont buy new’ comment, if you read it and try to understand it means that, regardless of whether a person thinks it is good to buy 2nd hand rather than new, someone bought the item new to begin with. it didn’t fall out of someones arse just because you wanted it. you, sir, are much more of a moron than i could ever be! if you weren’t, you would see that i am in favour of ‘net neutrality’, against the continuous persecution of web sites, file sharing ones in particular, but am sensible enough to realise what is going to happen, whether i or you want it to or not, because there is no consolidated opposition to what the ‘industries’ are doing!!!

#84 Daniel: “Good, I’m all for Bit Torrent, but I’m ready for Limewire to die.”

Please don’t blame the file sharing application for the stupidity of its users. If they get infected by viruses, that’s because they’re so stupid as to use Windows instead of better OSes, like e.g. Linux.

The file sharing app transfers files, and Frostwire/Limewire are doing a great job here. It doesn’t care what’s in those files.

@74 This is the biggest bag of fail I have ever seen. 1. This won’t end in months, this ‘battle for the internet’ you speak of has gone on for over 10 years, the copyright one for even longer, and now it will suddenly end ’cause you have your head up your ass? I think not my good man. You preach to the rest of us like you are some kind of prophet, more like a moron. The number of losses have majorly out weighted their wins, not only that, but a court order was issued for Newzbin to shut down, and I don’t see it going anywhere ^_^. Not only are you A FUCKING IDIOT BABBLING ON ABOUT APOCALYPTIC BULLSHIT, but it’s not the point to STOP buying new, the point for all of this is for the music/movie, all of the entertainment industry, to change their ways. If you like a bands music, donate/buy a CD/see a concert, that’s how it should be. You are clearly stating that you want it all free (that don’t buy new comment), and that sir makes you nothing but a bloody bottom feeder. :) Once the internet is gone? It’s not fucking going ANYWHERE… And of course as ’75′ said.

to #79
firstly i am not a lawyer nor am i pretending to be. 2ndly, i am not scum, resent being called that and have not suggested that anyone else here is. 3rdly, the thoughts are my own and so far what i have said would happen, has happened. 4thly, there is no reason to think that what i reckon will happen, wont happen. why? because we are just the public and no one gives a shit about the views of the public, their wants or needs and definitely dont give a shit or greater about us or anything to do with us. all we are good for is to continuously pay money to whomever tells us they want some, we owe some or wants to take it. in contrast the ‘industries’ are much more important because they already have money and want to keep it, it can then be turned into persuasive power! we are too layed back to worry about anything, whether we want it to happen or not, until it has happened, we have then seen the effect it has on us and is too late to do anything to prevent it from happening or reversing the effect. i hope that whenever a site is closed, another will open doing the same thing and am greatful to sites like TPB for what they have done, are doing and want them to continue to do. it will, however, not continue, nor will similar sites! look at what has happened to date. are you blind? more pressure on and from governments, let alone the ‘industries’. compromise is the only answer, but no way will the ‘industries’ do that, leaving what option, do you think?

I don’t understand you people saying LimeWire is dead and whatnot. It isn’t. Firstly it’s not really made for sharing apps and games and things like that. It’s better for downloading small files like music and at that, it excels. If you can’t distinguish the four or five fake/spam files at the bottom, then you’re really dumb and should stick to your dumb torrents.

Daniel — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 11:52:07 +0000

@74 I’ve been using the same sites for at least 2 years, some longer, and most of them haven’t been touched by the entertainment industry. The ones that have, like tpb, you guys just can’t seem to stop.

“every site is going to have to pay to police what the industries say”

Good luck with this, shutting sites down that have pirated material is one thing, and some will say it’s bad… but trying to make everyone pay to police their content? I’d love to see how that goes over with the public. I actually wish this quote was from one of their lawyers and not some scum trying to pretend to be.

Good, I’m all for Bit Torrent, but I’m ready for Limewire to die. Every time I get asked “hey can you check my computer, I think I have a virus” its because they where morons and managed to download one from Limewire. Would bittorrent be any better? Probably not, but it’s slightly harder to use… so hopefully the dumb ones would just give up.
