Limewire sued, artist gets nothing.

The file sharing program Limewire has been sued by RIAA for a billion dollar, but only have to pay 105 million dollars in compensation. Of which the pirated artist doesn't receive a dime.

All the money we are receiving will be spent on campaigns for further piratehunting says RIAA's spokesman Jonathan Lamy to Torrentfreak.

RIAA haven't yet made any official statement about how exactly the money will be spent.


See, nothing good comes from anti-piracy, the artists doesn't get any money at all when the companies sue file sharers.

    The RIAA is still around? Hadn't heard of them since they were suing 13 year olds for billions of dollars.

    Typical, I'm interested in how it would be spent. More court cases and legal fees?

    this is so ridiculous. why bother suing if not for the artists? legalities are silly.

    Didn't know Limewire still existed, considering the fact that practically no one uses it anymore. Not really shocked that they're getting sued tbh

    Limewire is no doubt one of the great application to download. As I love to download more and more videos & music so this application will definitely going to help me a lot. As it is active peer to peer file sharing software & provides unlimited downloading which makes me a big fan of it.
