What the heck happened to Limewire?
There doesn't seem to be any content there anymore. Did they get nailed or something?

2. Try doing a search
I just did one for The Dining Rooms. (I have a filter on so it doesn't show junk). The returns were: (0/1366)! A little disturbing, considering how much music I get from here.

3. First, stop using Limewire. It's gone to shit, and a Cleveland firm has been getting
shit together to start nailing them over the past year or two. I switched to Ares, and it's been much better

5. People still use Limewire?
I stopped using that back in like 2001.

6. With Speedy Gonzles putting in laws for 'attempted piracy'
I'd suggest you stop using P2P services.

No doubt this law will be used to extreme idiocies, but what else is new?

It sounds draconian, but it'd set most people straight. Which is what they want.

Now if software vendors stop their own thieving and match their products' prices with the competition; many out there do the same things for MUCH less and put out equally professional results.
