http://www.businessinsider.com/limewire-officially-dead-seeks-resurrection-2010-10 OH NO! WHERE WILL I GET MY VIRUSES NOW?
Kinda sad, but haven't used it in years, so a bit meh. More interested to see if they will have to pay a settlement to the RIAA
Preferably to the people who create it. That doesn't happen too often. People around here keep telling me the iPad is great 'cause their grandmother can use it without needing the slightest clue about how computers work
Well, I'm not a grandmother... Yet. I've got a few more years. That and the transgendered surgery... And I've been known to operate a 'pute or two
But seriously what? You don't need 3000 songs. Single mothers can listen to the radio for all I care.
It's funny that you can listen to the radio for free, imo. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2007/10/riaa-jury-finds/ http://jalopnik.com/5667666/how-the-riaa-took-my-vintage-mustang http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/comment/12/2010/10/ad9f59ffb81c4acbc63266c6bfaeb699/340x.png
I think music piracy is a lot different than game piracy. I download music for free but always go to the artists concerts (within a couple hundred miles) and buy their merchandise.
Her fault for pirating. I buy my songs (only have about 250 on my ipod because of this, but pandora and youtube are very useful), so it's perfectly fine for me. I mean it's illegal to murder people, a cute little boy killing someone isn't different from an ex-convict killing someone.
Isn't the RIAA an independent entity that has no actual ties to the musicians that write said stolen music? Besides, musicians get the vast majority of their income from concert ticket/merchandise sales, not album sales... As far as I'm concerned, if I like a band that I listen to I'll go and see their live show, torrented albus or not. And no, no one NEEDS 3000 songs but downloading music illegally opens a lot of doors to new up and coming bands that the general public might not have noticed otherwise, thus the bands would have not only missed out on the small change that they would get from album sales, they also miss out on the vast majority of their income(concert/merchandise sales) due to obscurity. That's how I see it, at least, IMAO.
