Meaning you can still pull .Torrents with the P2P but you can't use the site ?

Limewire.com is closed

Many third party sites are going to have a field day with this !

I have it on my computer and it will no longer open. I never used it
anyway.

Heh, well; limewire rides on the gnutella network; so the judge either
doesn't understand the concept of decentralized networks, or he actually
thinks his signature is worth anything in this case.

You don't have to use limewire to access that network, it's open source
and has been for years.

I wonder if it's the same judge that shut down Winmx.com ?

I wonder if it's a humbling experience for them to know that the
internet exceeds there courtrooms reach? If you're a realistic Judge
who doesn't consider himself God, that's probably something you can
handle. OTH, If your one who fancies himself as God, I bet it burns
your ass good.
