| Lime Wire Countersues RIAA |

Enough cliches there? I thought so. First it plans to demonstrate that it is markedly different from Napster as it is truly decentralized. The company also states that by clicking the "I Agree" bit when installing the software, the user agrees to use it only for legal purposes, so if the user is using the software for evil then it surely can't be Lime Wire's fault, right? Grokster tried that one, it didn't work. Lime Wire then claims it had a business plan put together in which they would use a "hashing" mechanism to detect copyrighted material and then educate the user and put him/her to a legitimate site to purchase the music from. Stellar plan, indeed, but Lime Wire goes on to state that it couldn't act on this plan because the RIAA and the record companies wouldn't work with Lime Wire. The recording industry wasn't happy with Lime Wire's detection routines. Lime Wire goes on to complain about the monopoly that the RIAA companies have over the industry and how they almost completely control it, scaring smaller companies away from dealing with the service. Doesn't sound like it holds much water to me. Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites          Add your comment
