RE: Sharing Limewire Music

Yes, but what I said was not even citing LimeWire namely, it was general for
any Gnutella application.

I also wanted to stop such request immediately before someone gives bad
solutions, because this message looks like a test to see if Gnutella
developers and supporters are actively giving advices on how to breach laws.
Really, Gnutella does not need that, because it is currently challenged and
this list is monitored.

There are similar requests found in every public list or online forum; they
are looking like innocent requests for things that are really obvious, so I
think that those requests are not innocent, but are really organized to
build proofs against Gnutella.

Anyway, it's definitely not unuseful to repeat again and again the most
obvious legal advices and campaign to place users with their own
responsabilities. It's certainly better to have less users that are
downloading Gnutella applications only to break the law, but keeping those
that are thinking about how they use the application.

If you think that Gnutella is not challenged, you're wrong. There are
ongoing procedures against all the most wellknown Gnutella client vendors
and developers. And attacks coming from everywhere in several countries.

Despite I have never distributed any Gnutella servent myself, I have been
challenged personally only because I participated very modestly to the
development of LimeWire.

I have not been able to prove anything illegal against me, not even when the
police came at my home based on false accusations, I've been able to win in
a case, and I finally received compensation (some money) after private
negociations to avoid that I start a law suite against those that made false
accusations.

So I know that the place where I participated are being monitored, and that
those attacking Gnutella are even breaching the laws and abusing our
liberties... But they still continue to "test" us.
