File-sharing systems on the verge of the abyss

Arista, Atlantic, BMG Music, Capital, Elektra, Interscope, LaFace, Motown, Priority, Sony BMG, UMG, Virgin e Warner sued, alltogether, the LimeWire Group responsible for one of the most used software for transmitting files freely though the Internet.

There are advantages of using file-sharing desktop programs for companies who don't want to use the insecure WWW protocols and also for distributing promotional material, but the abuses were just too much.

Brazil is one of the best in Internet piracy, movies, songs, books, everything is being published on these file-sharing programs and viruses are all over the place. People got so used to it that it isn't considered something illegal. If you by a CD on a shop you might be considered a 's*cker' (with a U) and that is a reality that needs change. And it is! I hope LimeWire and others like SoulSeek, Kazaa, Bearshare and Gnutella get their hands on their conscience and change that, for the sake of the artists and the creative industry.
