FrostWire, which will continue to exist with or without any specific company.

I don't think there's any way Lime Wire can stop their old software from working. It just connects to the Gnutella network, right?

LimeWire kind of sucks, anyway.

its full of fake files and is slow. but yea, there are GPL implementations of limewire and gnutella network filesharing apps abound.

I keep all my music on the cloud now these days. If i need something downloaded I would use tpb because people can post comments on there. Frost/Limewire are outdated technologies.

So is bitorrent (protocol), seeing as it came out, almost exactly a year later.

Which means, its 10th anniversary is next year, on July 2nd, 2011.

Is there a legal precedent for making something illegal because it can be used for an illegal activity ?

It's almost like he is asking for you to trace him. Given time, it is possible.

Guns, flicknives.

Screwdrivers, crowbars, if you're found walking around a car park with these, you're 'carrying with intent'

i use limewire before but now when using it, no result and if result is shown, it's fake and not downloading..

currently using frostwire and ares. they have result but i don't know which is better and has more realistic search.
