LimeWire to stop pirating

One of the main P2P clients for Gnutella, LimeWire is to work out a way to block people sharing pirated content.

According to Slyck news around three to five days ago, LimeWire developers began working on two new branches of the code, cc_reverify_interval-branch and cc-publish-branch.

The first branch will verify that every file shared has a license. If this is not the case, the file will not be shared. The second branch is for publishing one's own work without a licence.

If an individual shares an unlicensed MP3 file, the LimeWire client will display a message and block its distribution.

Thats good news. Its about time.

Why is that good news?

Remember that he works for the government.

Once everyone figures out that pirated material isn't lost profits (which will be never), I think the buzz will die down.

Why is that good news?

I don't know maybe its my values. When I do things that could have an effect on someone else I put myself in there shoes and ask myself if I would want that done to me... So if I was a music artist, or a movie director, or something of that nature, I would hate knowing that millions of people are downloading my music/movies for free, which is also known as stealing.

Remember how LiveWire got banned? Because he used Zelarons theme in his own website and Chruser got mad because it was his hard work being stolen? Well its the same exact thing.

Also I work for the government.

edit, just so you know I have a huge collection of movies games anime and music and I bought every one.

I beleive in pirating what you wouldn't ever buy in the first place. I have a shit load of music, and i had(stolen) a shit load of CDs... i get what i want and what i dont want but would like to listen to once and while without scanning TV and Radio i download. Same with Movies and everything else... ill never have the money for Photoshop nor if I did would i buy it... i just doodle on it. So, no evil

Lol!!!! This Is Hilarious...theyll Never Stop Us!!

lol people are just going to find there own ways...

www.cdzinc.com <=== already a new way to get music.. but you can only stream it( having a recorder on ur comp never hurts)

I think it sucks, and I am going to download EVERYTHING now, before this goes into effect..

I have succesfully downloaded teh intarweb into a floppy disk

who the fuck is still using gnutella anyway? if the RIAA and shit actually wants to make a difference, they should stop suing shit that no one has used for the past 5 years. seriously, they're still suing Kazaa...

Heh. Nobody uses KaZaA anymore. I rarely use LimeWire just to get individual Mp3s.

Pirating! Ban! Ban! Ban! You can't say those words here!

no big secret that i pirate gay porn

Aaaarrggh! Me mates!

well they will have to try and stop bit torrent because that is the newest way to share files P2P and from what i can tell it is really fast.

Yep. Limewire, kazza, edonkey and such are like tofu turkey at thanksgiving. something you want to avoid.
Why download a single song,when you can download the entire album via BitTorrent? that's what i like about BitTorrent, people take the time scan the packaging, and put a proper playlist in with the files.
But you didn't hear that from me.

And you are..?
