LimeWire fighting to bitter end

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – "LimeWire isn't going quietly to its death.

The popular file-sharing service, which allows people to transfer music, movies and TV shows free of charge over the Internet, is looking to get court-ordered subpoenas that require third parties to open up about their dealings with the record industry."

It's an interesting legal strategy. They plan to bring Amazon and Apple in the mix, and see where it all falls. Frankly, I think the Judge overruled in his decision

I think they are pissing in the wind but it is funny. Maybe they want to throw so much up crap into the air that the record companies will take pocket change just to avoid airing their dirty laundry. I hope LimeWire is successful. The record companies are sued constantly for cheating on royalties. I have never seen a case go to court. They always settle out of court. To me that indicates they have something to hide. You don't pay up to avoid court if you have paid royalties per the contract.
