Recently Limewire was ordered to shut down it's file-sharing service. Has anyone been affected by the RIAA's victory? I personally wasn't affected by it, but I'm curious to know how this will affect illegal download as a whole. From what I understand is that people have started buying some music but I feel that it will have no longevity. Some people may be waiting for the next big thing, but it may be here already. I've personally been going from program to program since 7th grade ( I was 11, not im 21). That's ten years of living as a criminal (LOL). I think once people find a new method of getting music for free, those who have started to do the right thing and legally download their music will eventually revert back to the pirate life. I don't intend on putting ideas in people's heads but there are sooooo many options OTHER than Limewire or peer-to-peer sharing programs that can get you music for free. RIAA has a long road to travel if they think they are stopping our generation.
I hear frost wire is the new thing. My roommates just downloaded it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, they need to realize that the internet is so big that they can't regulate it, once one site goes down, another will rise. And I'm surprised they didn't get a more recent program, Limewire's pretty retro.
