---- RIAA Wins in LimeWire File Sharing Lawsuit

I prefer not to think of it as anything, the equal application of law shouldn't be open for debate. As the ruling is worded now I think it SHOULD be overturned, it avoids being specific and apparently relies heavily on interpretation.

If I DID think of it as anything I agree that Limewire should be shut down, it doesn't police copyright abuse, BUT under which law do you shut them down? Certainly not the one used as it can be applied to every day email and text message services too.

You know, I don't know why I bother making this argument anyway. The last thing I want is the lawbook revisited and updated to differentiate between services because other things will get added into law at the same time. I suppose the law is broken just enough to still be usable and not need an overhaul, good enough.
