Thread:Comments:Filesharing software distributor LimeWire ordered to close by Court/10 years behind/reply

Yes, they do. Programmes like eMule, Bearshare, Ares and things like them are still extremely popular, since they can search on a topic, unlike BitTorrent, which works by specific files and uses external search agents to find what you're after. It's a shame that LimeWire has been hit like this, but unfortunately I believe that this spells the "Beginning of the end" for existing P2P software. However, as LimeWire was based on an open-source project, Gnutella, I'm sure other agents will spring up quite quickly. We'll have to see where this goes, won't we?
