Limewire is Shut Down! (I thought it was long time dead!)

[V_R]

Honestly, i really didn't know anyone still used that virus riddled POS anymore....

P2P file-sharing enabler LimeWire finally lost its long-running battle against music-industry heavy hitters on Tuesday. "As of today, we are required to stop distribution and support of LimeWire’s P2P file-sharing service as a result of a court-ordered injunction," reads a statement by Lime Company CEO George Searle on the company's website.

"Naturally, we're disappointed with this turn of events," Searle continues. Naturally.

The injunction was handed down by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. It permanently enjoins and restrains LimeWire from distributing its client software.

It was the worst website ever in my opinion, I have seen scores of PC's folks owned where this software service was used and their PC's never functioned well.
