I was looking for news about LimeWire in general on Google news, and discovered a really sloppy story that can only be described as
disinformation of the worst order
I have posted a detailed response at

and I'd really like to hear comments on how WFAA TV can be made to apologise. If any of you live in Texas perhaps you could give them a call, but read the blog first.
Essentially they
claim to have exposed a serious flaw in LimeWire. What they did was add a user's "Documents" folder to the shared folders list, and then tell the user how easy it is to read all her documents. The mind boggles.
The security consultant in the story is an interesting piece of work. I have asked him some detailed questions and he gives very vague, evasive answers.
