I understand you have to pay the extra to upgrade from Limewire to Limewire Pro, but what is stopping people from just downloading it from Limewire the same way they download music or videos, etc ?

Would it not work or what ?

I'm sure people have tried it before now to save themselves the money of buying Limewire Pro.

um .. sharp thinking ... but ... you are likely, as with any download of a programme off limewire, to get a version which may contain spyware or worse.

You will not be able to get updates, or technical support, and most importantly imho you will be avoiding paying a paltry sum towards the development of this fine application.

I personally have no problem atall in paying a few dollars ... Less than the price of a CD ..... in my country at any rate ...... for Limewire Pro

And I don't share pro versions btw

No, I was just asking, but don't think I would, for the reasons you have described. You could also get a virus, but I was just curious.
