Somehow you seem to have mixed up buying PRO with some sort of protection from being sued, as Blackhorse said, it is no protection.

The only sure fire way to protect yourself is to buy your CDs and MP3s, not download them from other P2P users. Just remember that any MP3 you download using LW, or any other P2P app, is not owned by the company that sold you that app.

However, that said, there are a lot of other stuff that are in the public domain that you can legitimately download without "the men in black suits and limos" coming for you. All you have to do is a bit of research, on the Internet and your nearest public library, to find out what is available.

Hello I am Bob from the Netherlands and i have difficultisch with getting Limewire Pro. They asked me to pay with a creditcard and i can only pay with a bankpas of with pay pall ore a meastrocard but a creditcard is not availeble.
The creditcard i one's had is teared in pices after a lost off money to unowing persons. And i will never have a creditcard again.
How can i get and pay Pro?

Hi Bob,

LW seem to have restricted the credit cards that people can use to buy or renew LW Pro, so have a look at FrostWire. It's very similar to LW, is free & has many Pro features. Click on the blue link below.

Or, if you like, you could try another free Gnutella client, as mentioned in post #6 of this thread.

It seems to me if Limewire wants to make money they better get their moerators to let them know they are missing alot of sales by not taking MASTERCARD OR USING PAYPAL.

They need to join the online people with ways to pay for their product.

Paypal is a good safe way for all people to pay atleast Limewire could get that set up.

WAKE UP LIMEWIRE DO SOMETHING!

You know BC

Back in the dim and distant past (about 5 years ago), unless my mind is playing tricks on me, the LW Org. used to accept Paypal and Mastercard as methods of payment.

I'm guessing that, as Mastercard has become the dominant (world wide) credit card system, the LW Org. has run into some sort of problem based on the fee they are charged by Mastercard.

You see, credit card companies charge a fee to the companies that use their facilities, maybe the LW Org. now think the fee is too high.

But, I must admit, I agree with you and that the LW Org. should use Mastercard's payment facilities because they could be loosing more than they save.

I've found out Mastercard made themselves unavailable to LW to use for payments. It was not a case of LW dropping Mastercard as an option. Same issue happened with Paypal 1-3 years ago. These financial organisations decided they did not wish LW to use their services for payments.

Thanks for your information.
