Long used by millions worldwide to download and share music and videos, the software violates copyright laws and did little or nothing to stop the distribution of copyright-protected files.
LimeWire was used extensively over the past few years to make virtually any song or film available, with many albums and movies available before their release date. After seeing what happened to Napster (a $26 million settlement paid to record companies), you’d think the guys behind LimeWire would get the picture.
