| 1164443 | 2010-12-23 18:14:00 | Hmmmm, what’s your take on this? I just go an E-Mail from “Lime Download” signed by a Mark Pathers of P@P Technologies, inviting me to download what appears to be a new Limewire? Now I know another P2P Music site that was closed by the courts years ago simply pulled stumps and moved their servers (to Rio de Janeiro I think) which was outside the jurisdiction of the American Courts. Anyway, I’m just curious because I must confess to downloading old songs well outside of Copyright from Limewire. As an aside, I remember checking at the time what the music copyright law was and I’ll wager an awful lot of what was available on Limewire was out of Copyright. Equally, a lot wasn’t. :D |

| 1164444 | 2010-12-23 18:41:00 | I would be interested in more info on that. I downloaded a lot of very old music from Limwire. Do you have a site for the download. Nothing on Google. |

| 1164445 | 2010-12-23 19:18:00 | It was ordered to shut down by the courts. There's some other place thats made a pirate edition. Where they've just changed whatever in one version of limewire. I wouldnt trust it. The other one you maybe thinking of maybe napster. It was also shut down. But came back. Now, you have to pay subs to use it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

The actual link is hidden behind a “Click Here” and I’m reluctant to click anything at this stage to find out. :D However, I’ll let you know when I get to the bottom of it. ;) In the meantime I’ll attach the Copyright Law on music taken from NZ Government Website. As you can see it’s 50 years from year of release, which to my way of thinking entitles us to a lot of good music prior to 1960. ;) |

They just shifted camps when the Courts closed them down, probably five or six years ago. I remember they kept supplying patches as their servers were shifted whilst the Fed's were on their tail. As I said in the other post, I think they wound up in Rio de Janeiro where the Fed's couldn't get them. :D I would say that most of their stuff was out of copyright anyway and the site used mainly by us "Wrinkley's" |

| 1164448 | 2010-12-24 02:19:00 | Meh, purely P2P-based filesharing is dying IMO, tracked torrents are far better, although 'popular' torrents can quite happily survive on DHT (i.e. trackerless). | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1164449 | 2010-12-24 02:50:00 | Limewire is soo 2010, utorrent is the way of the future | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1164450 | 2010-12-30 02:45:00 | the reason limewire was good was mp3 singles.. you don't get those on torrents. Yes, I know utorrent is good, I've used it for a very long time, but now that limewire is gone (and it has been absolute crap for 12 months or more now anyway) the next best software solution for quickly finding single song mp3's is something like Super mp3 downloader (www.super-mp3-download.com/) .... or slower web based search like Bee MP3 (http:) Not much you wont find in the way of singles with those... and no lime type Trojans either! |

| 1164451 | 2010-12-31 03:43:00 | You CAN download singles from torrents. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1164452 | 2010-12-31 03:53:00 | You CAN download multiple trojans etc from torrents too. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
