not really
 

you state world wide thats not true only in the US, if they ever shut it down here there will be plenty of foriegn countries that will allow the sharing, however they could proscute you here if they caught you.

sorry
 

That is just in my opinion I could be wrong

Dear Kitisi

You will find that where the US leads, the world usually follows and if the US feels strongly about something, it has the economic power to enforce compliance.

PS. Note, this is my own humble opinion.

If and when the government shuts down the file sharing networks there will be others that will take their place. They shut them down and more will pop up. It will be a never ending and very expensive battle for them.

frazzled

At least the Brits do...

You are right, British governments tend to bend over backwards to prove that they are America's friend, whether or not the population agrees.

I've heard that's called a monarchy.

When is LimeWire going to shut down the website?

They started with sniffing bicycle seats, then they went into full-brown-nose-mode with the yanquis...

Must be why that Blair wears those ridiculously long ties, huh ?
