LimeWire Given Two Weeks To Decide Future Operations
June 11, 2010 07:42:00 AM CDT   |   by Edwin Ortiz

With LimeWire backed into a proverbial corner after being found guilty of copyright infringement last month, a judge recently gave the peer-to-peer file sharing company two weeks of reprieve to the decide the future of its business operations.

Though the current position of the case is leaning toward a closure of LimeWire and its services, the company believes more time is necessary in order to properly plan. “We feel a permanent injunction is not the best course of action. It could hold back the creation of new digita-music technologies that LimeWire
 is in the process of developing, and [it] does not benefit the industry as a whole.”

If rewarded, The RIAA estimates monetary damages to top over a billion dollars.

Nobody uses limewire anymore anyways.

You'll have way more luck getting tracks from people on message boards.

Exactly

I usually type something like "Eminem Recovery rapidshare" and that works 99% of the time.  Google blog search works well too. 
That's how I'll get my tv shows too most of the time, I'll search "Entourage season 7 720p download".  Even easier and faster than torrents.

except rapidshare fails.

Searching on Demonoid/Isohunt is the easiest but when it's not there I use google blog search

I'm not the biggest fan of rapidshare but it's the most popular hosting site, so I have to use it. 

Torrents are fine for small downloads like albums and SDTV shows but it's pretty bullshit for high definition movies and television.  I use megashares and rapidshare.  Torrents are too slow and unreliable for a 8GB movie.

Maybe the most popular but the uploads will be deleted quikly I believe plus the servers are always overloaded.

i remember Limewire; fuck that shit lol.

they weren't even quick with songs that leaked.

for example, Limewire probably still doesn't have all of the songs off Recovery.

it was alright if you knew what individual songs you wanted, but like someone else said, just googling it is equally, if not more efficient.
