Limewire to start authorized music download store

Written by Andre Yoskowitz (Google+) @ 15 Aug 2007 13:23 User comments (12)

The infamous file sharing company LimeWire announced today that they had plans to begin a legal, authorized music store which it will eventually integrate into its hugely popular P2P client.

For the past few months, Limewire has been under intense scrutiny and pressure to clean up its business, especially after being sued by the record industry.

The legal service will have a small library to begin with, featuring music only from IRIS Distribution and Nettwerk Productions but the tracks will be available DRM-free and at 256kbps. There is no pricing details available as of yet, but the company said there will be single downloads offered as well as a subscription service.

BareShare went legit too; but you know what, some of their old version 5.xx client software is still working. Get it from www.oldversion.com and do your thing...

Thats what they do with these sites buy em out if they cant take them down and replace what you like for what they feel you should have. This really isnt a tragedy because its better alternatives.

Never really liked LimeWire. When they just started out, there so many others to choose from, and when the others went away, new services popped up. It just seemed to me that everybody else did it better.
