I discovered in another thread that I was also scammed by purchasing a 'lifetime' membership to LimeWire. The fella who posted kept referring to me as "novice internet" user. However, I am not, and I know, I remember downloading from LimeWire website....not from some other website, a one time purchase for access. I was flipping back and forth between LW and Napster for pete's sake.
I realize the super-duper, turbo-charged thingy was an additional fee, which I also purchased, with the assumption it was also "lifetime".
And with the new upgrade, many of us have suddenly lost our PRO...and we mysteriously no longer are listed in their databases, since they reject our email addresses when we seek tech support. Now if that sure don't smell funny.
But LimeWire must be counting the bucks today, since we all need to re-purchase our PRO, and are now stuck with old software technology. I don't even have 4.14...my basic LW keeps loading 4.10.
AND, there was no indication that purchasing PRO was on a 6mo or 1 yr term.
I think LimeWire need to make money and we are suffering the consequences. I think I'll hold out on buying PRO again, nervous LW will send out a new upgrade in a month or two. - sour grapes indeed -
