LimeWire Shut Down Proves a Healthy Boost to the File-Sharing Community

LittleShoot works really well too

Why don't you morons pay for the music as you should.

Because paying for that music only benefits the rich, the people that worked th emsot making that music dont get anything more than a base payment so shut up

why don't the mprons who have a bunch of money to throw away stop calling everyone else morons and telling us to pay for our downloads. maybe we don't have that kind of money to go spending like you do * .

Limewire offered me the chance to find music that was old and music that was unique that I could not find elsewhere. I guess our Fedaeral judges are bought and paid for by all big money corps

This is what happens when Big Brother tries to control P2P sharing. Another option will be found

the best thing to do is to not mention names of these sites online where they are watched 0.o
there are other ways to get the word out as there used to be other ways to share music and well any sort of information

this is bs
lime wire was the best

limewire needs to come back...

bt junkie @torrentpond
Bitcomet
Demonoid is best though

BitTorrent is the way to go!!!!!

All I have to say is...1 billion dollars is nothing to the music Ind. they have more money to throw around....rich keep getting richer and the poor are going bankrupt

This guy couldnt of put it any better

What limewire was my lifeee !!! now how am i going to get songs :(

You can always buy the songs or just checkout and google other sites for those FREE downloads.

limewire was the best music downloader for music who would wanna shut it down :(

What these music jerks does realize is that we will just find other ways to download music. They only thing they have accomplished was a even bigger resolve not to pay one penny for music. Personally I will do whatever I can in my limited way to bankrupt these music guys. Go and rot in this mess you created for yourself.!!!

this is bs idk wat ima do wit out limewire.

I feel like a traitor. I went to frostwire

frostwire doesnt download anything. it takes FOREVER

Frostwire is by the same people as Limewire.

frostwire is better and faster then that lime crap ever was

THIS IS BAD I LIVE IN A RETIRERMENT TOWN AND I DONT GET CABLE . LIME WIRE LET ME FIND NEW UP TO DATE MUSIC AND SOME OLD SONG THAT ARE NOT UNDER THE COPYRIGHTS ACT BECUSE IT WAS MADE BEFOR COPY RIGHTS WAS EVEN A LAW. ITS THE SAME AS RECORDING OF THE RADIO BACK IN THE 70S. maybe the music comp. should make music werth paying for there is no telent or origanal talent anymore is about useless greenbacks now !

I agree with you there most of the music now days suck I don't understand how anyone is crying over limewire it sucked anyway bittorrents are the way to go

now that my whole library on limewire is gone none of my songs on itunes will play because they "cant be located". is anybody else having that problem??

your music is not lost. go into itunes preferences/advanced tab/make sure the box is checked for add files to itunes media folder when adding to itunes library. leave itunes open, and open mydocuments/limewire/saved, now drag a crop the files into itunes and this should solve your problem

wow. u didn't transfer them to your my music? that suks!

That is horrible, where am I surpost to get music now... BS

why don't you try piratebay or other bittorrents. Piratebay is in Sweden theres no copyright laws there

oh man why its happen?. . ..i cant download my favorite song huhuhu;-(

the artists are at fault. they are lazy and dont want to work. i worked last week and want to get paid for it again? they are f ing crazy. the courts and /or the singers should have to refund all the limewire users and that means govmt funds. no wonder the singers are upset, they been haveing to do some real work for a while.

You have no clue what you are saying. Practicing scales, studying music theory for years, hauling my equipment to and from gigs for years, working in a recording studio till 3 in the morning with a screaming producer. Being dumped from a record company. Chasing a venue owner around trying to get paid at two in the morning. Putting up ad posters up for your gigs in the middle of the night . Having to sell a huge amount of your own tickets just get the chance to play a venue "Pay to Play". Having the headliner screw you by controlling what your sound man is allowed to do at the gig. Driving 500 miles to a venue to have the union lumpers refuse block you from getting into the venue to perform unless you pay them in advace of ticket sales to get your equipment onto the stage. The list goes on. We're not lazy, we deserve to eat, and we don't deserve to be stolen from. A buck for a good song is nothing.....

When it comes down to it all, it was about money for the Record Industry. They saw a company making millions of dollars or doing good and had to shut it down. They not losing money. Copying music has been done when cassettes were out and they never agrued about that, never!

record ind. press out cds for at least .55 cents per cd. Then thru the network of sell charge the store at leat 1.oo or 2. oo per cd , then the stores had to add their percentage to make money to pay back the record company 10. oo to 15.oo .

This sucks its all about the money. Now it .99 cent per song, round it off to 1.00 add 5 songs per day and see what u pay out per week. It is ok compare to buying 1 cd. But one cd may have one song on it you like and that's it, there goes 15.00!!!!!!!

As a musician, I would like the public to understand the hard work musicians go through to survive.

The liability insurance you may have to buy in order to put on a concert at a venue. The list goes on. We're not lazy, we deserve to eat, and we don't deserve to be stolen from.

Yeah and you get paid by the pol who actually attend your gigs and performances. if you're really a musician you'd know that 99% of the digital sales go straight to the record company so don't give me this BS about needing to eat. All the money you earn comes from your gigs anyway.

downloading music without paying doesn't affect the actual performers in the slightest way.

As another musician(35 years now) I want to say that once a zillion freaking dollars has been made it's just rape period. I get what I get...no more. Mine is a service bought and sold, and only the elite are allowed the slightest taste of cream. All other claims are BS. A dollar a song is not increddibley expensive and certainly 5 good songs are better than an entire album of crap, but consider this... how do I hear the entire album to know what I want? Oh I know... I pay...and then when I finally find something I like...I pay again...sweet deal for someone eh? Forcing us backwards with out fair and legitimate standards...legitimacy is not what ever the Rec boys and RIAA say is fair. You guyds want this down loading to stop...then suck it up and make an effort to play fair or kiss our behinds...period.

i think its all about the money. The music industry wasn't making any money off of lamewire downloads so made them close down the site. Just like any other large company losing out or not getting a pice of the pie what eles is new.....

Yeah so what about those people that want to hear you but can't? They dont have the money to hear your music because it has to be paid. Gigs are gigs, you go to places, we work hard just as much as you do, if we could all play music like some of you then we wouldn't be doing this. You as a musician know just as well as some of us that music is a good thing in life. Let the ones that ones that want to buy your CD buy it but then let those that are POOR AND DONT HAVE MONEY download it...so what if we download it? We like your songs right? It should have to matter...its why you don't make music your main source of income...find something else to do...and make money off of...your not bad were more talking about people like snoop dog, the beiber fever boy, and all those other rappers and singers that make millions...your not the tip of the iceberg yet.

Frostwire is the same as limewire. check it out

i have always used ARES and it works perfectly till this day...

Older versions still work!

Yeah that's true, I'm still using 4.18.3 without any hassle however due to other users being blocked out the selection has dwindled somewhat... may check out this frostwire option.

this sucks

well that sucks

i think them having to shut down is a bunch of bs at lest for the ones like me that paid for the pro version of lime wire we should at lest get some kind of refund of some sort
