Limewire wants to share ad revenue with record labels

Although I can respect and apreciate Lime's willingness to try to make a more workable relationship with the very unflexible RIAA, I still think it sets a very poor precident! Do not give an olive branch! They will want the whole frickin tree, soil, water, air, anything to sustain its existence!

see my fingers... where do they point?

malware central + the riaa... what a team!!

ok you need to understand that everything on lime wire isn't malware.

good idea

limewire isnt malware central you just have to know what and what not to download

Hahahaha, if i do that i then that would only leave 200 files. that are not poisoned in some way.

then again if i ever need to see (HOT_Milf_Gets _i _IN_THe_rear_By horse) ill be sure to download lime wire in the meant time ill just use good ol PTP

Um..I don't think the RIAA or any other entertainment entity are willing to compromise even if it means a 40% stake on any financials generated. Perhaps this is trying to avoid Lime from getting shut down eventually which I wont really miss anyways, so whatever.

Get your stormworm variants and trojan_generic_downloader from my frostwire share folder now :) I give them tempting names to get my botworms into xp machines.. download and I got ya.. hahahaha..

Anybody sharing via this outmoded means is just begging for a visit from the mpaa/riaa lawyers or the malware traders.

Welcome to 2008.. it isn't 1996 any more!!!

Regardless of personal opinions on how much malware is buried within Limewire's clientele, one thing is for sure:

There are better places to download music readily available.

i agree with you 7singer

nice idea. I think this is the only way to solve p2p legalization problem

I think it is a good idea. I think RIAA is a bigger whore than what most of you suspect. The AMA American Music Association condems ripping saying it is ilegal. However, for a fee they will help you rip. They sell subscriptions to their database for tag info. I am happy to give those scum bags $5-$6 a year to make my rips easier. Their database dwarfs the others.

LW can be both a useful tool and is actually quite safe in the right hands. Still, it is quite limited in several areas espically in the quality of what you get. It is also the most common entry into the P2P arena. Torrents require an extra level of expertise many LW users will never attain.

Do it cuz i want the music industry to stay around and limewire aint bad either
