Default How come I can still download from Limewire?
As many of you may know, Limewire received a court order and was forced to shut down.
So how come I can still download music just as normal?

They do this now so that they can catch any fool that still tries to use the service. The US marshals are monitoring it as they can now due to the low numbers. expect a call...

I use torrents and direct downloads, I haven't used limewire in years, it's so unsafe. (Well unsafe compared to the other methods but you can never be 100%, I always scan what I download before I open the folder)

I only started using Limerwire again recently... too much effort doing it any other way.

Going to have to start doing it how I used to again though. Find the song you want on youtube, go to MP3Converter (search it on google I can't remember the URL), then put the URL of the youtube vid into the box on the site an it just converters it to an mp3 file for you

Same, kind of? I pay £10 a month and get spotify premium on my Ipod Touch. Easy and simple and most of the time I am in a wireless area anyway (Home) so it's quick and easy.
