Peer-to-peer filesharing service LimeWire has been ordered to shut down after losing a four-year legal fight with US record labels.
The ruling follows a long-running legal dispute with the Recording Industry Association of America, which represents the major record labels and accused Lime Wire, the company behind the LimeWire service, of infringing copyright.
Now, a US court has issued a permanent injunction against the service, a move that will force LimeWire offline for good.
