According to research published by Digital Music News and BigChampagne, the popular P2P application Limewire can now be found on one-third of all PCs worldwide. For the report, the companies collected the data though voluntary systems scans and surveyed more than 1.6 million systems.
Although the number is impressive, and unrivaled, growth has slowed since news that they were involved in a legal battle with the RIAA hit the press.
"LimeWire continues to be the iTunes of P2P by a wide margin ... but growth has remained flat over the last several months," said Richard Menta, research analyst at Digital Music News.
