RIAA gives up, finally drops $200 million lawsuit against Limewire

[Mysticode]

Because everyone still uses Limewire, right guys? Righhhhhhhhhhht?  :lol:

 

I'm really surprised this wasn't dropped along time ago, as in 2010 when Limewire was forced to shut down. I guess the RIAA was hopeful they'd get some money out of it, but who really has the money to pay this over at the Limewire camp? Did they even MAKE money selling Limewire Pro?

Edit: This lawsuit was from Movie Studios... the RIAA I believe won their case.

 

Edit 2: Added Quote:

 

 

 

Six major movie and TV studios have dropped their lawsuit against the defunct file-sharing software LimeWire. The companies sued the software maker and its owner Mark Gorton last year, looking for more than $200 million in damages. Previously, the RIAA won $105 million in damages from the company and through the lawsuit the movie studios hoped to get their piece of the pie. The studios haven’t explained why they chose to dismiss the case.

Haha. Yeah. I remember using both of them. I was using  Limewire, and switched to Bearshare after they closed LW. But for the last 2 years, I've been using Youtube to MP3 converters.
