I just dont understand why no legal action has been saught against these sites or at least the search engines advertising them.
My only comment is that I'm in the UK and I have done a Google search for Limewire a few times since this post appeared, using the Google window on my Opera browser (which takes me to Google .com) and also typing in Google.com .. which takes me to Google.co.uk (LOL) and I have got no sponsored spam results on either.

The political debate ...has had one too many comments from me already
