Because everyone is not so cheap. It's $18.88 for Gods sake.

It helps support the developers so they can make Limewire even better. If noone paid for Pro then we would still be at version 2.0 or something like that. Is that what you want ??

the way I see it, if there are people out there who are willing to upload spam just to ruin Limewire, I'm surprised that not a single person has tried uploading Limewire Pro just to keep it from earning money.
However, I'm not advocating it. I'm just asking if Limewire's creators have done anything to prevent people from doing this.

If we aren't worried about money, why are we using limewire at all? it's only one dollar for a song using legal programs.

Let's put it this way. Some people have maybe 300 songs = $300 (legally). Legal depends on which country you are in. Also online music stores aren't available for all people. Also depends on where you live.

Other people have 3.000 songs = $3.000 (starting to get more expensive now, right ?)

Other people have 30.000 songs. You do the math :wink:
