From Billboard:
The RIAA has won a big court battle against filesharing service LimeWire. A federal court has found the company that operates the filesharing service liable for copyright infringement, according to CNET.
From CNET:
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood, for the Southern District of New York, granted summary judgment in favor of the music industry’s claims that the Lime Group, parent of LimeWire software maker Lime Wire, and founder Mark Gorton committed copyright infringement, engaged in unfair competition, and induced copyright infringement….The court decision could represent the biggest threat to online file sharing in years. Lime Wire is believed to be the tool used by half of those downloading pirated songs, and Wood’s decision could lead to a shutdown of the service.
