Be Careful Sharing/Downloading on LimeWire
I received a letter from my cable company saying that Limewire was informed by
MPA and some music companies of the files I had been sharing and downloading.
The cable company said that they were not going to discontinue my service
because they knew I was not using the service to sell what I download. They did
however tell me that there are undercover people working with Limewire to help
catch people downloading anything copyrighted, tradmarked and such. These
companies do not care if it it for your own person use. Just thought I would pass
the word and let you guys know that you have to be careful who you share your
files to and also who you download from, because both actions are being
monitored. The MPA (Motion Picture Association) has told my cable company that
they are in the process of filing actions against people. Just be careful b/c some
cable/dsl providers may cut you off of their service.

whats the deal with that????

So what's the deal, anyone else hear of any other situations like this?

And what do the creators of Limewire have to say about these accusations?

I love Limewire, but my future with it is cloudy.
