RIAA Believes Current or Former Lime Wire Employee Launched Pirate Edition
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is mad that someone resurrected LimeWire in a form that is even better than before and claims that the culprit used to work or is still working at Lime Wire LLC.
At the end of October, RIAA won a case against Lime Wire LLC, the company which developed the formerly popular LimeWire file sharing application.
As a result, U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood ordered Lime Wire to disable the program's searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and/or all of its functionality. The company complied with the order, however, on November 8 someone calling themselves MetaPirate released a version of the software dubbed LimeWire Pirate Edition (LPE).
