Re: Sharing Limewire Music

I see those reasons, and I'm sorry, that I criticised you on the false 
grounds. 

I'm helping develop Phex, and I do see similar requests in our forums (and 
regularly need to just delete messages which break the forum rules, which 
means they try to talk about files or similar). 

I know that Gnutella is being attacked, and to know that I just need to 
monitor the amount of spam I get, when I try to check, if my own free files 
can be found on Gnutella. 

But I didn't know that they go that far already... 
When did it happen? And did it get any followups? 

Thanks for the info. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
