I want these parasites out of business, period!

FrostWire will always be there for you, same network, same as limewire pro, no filter, and yes… no ads.

They call it illegal but at the same time want a share of the profits. Call me silly but isn’t that illegal profit?

Already they deceptively redirect users to their spam/scam sites through search results.

I’d go for the modified ad free version or don’t update it. Or else use a clone as stated.

Users don’t want ads. Thus they don’t patronize them. They don’t have money and that’s why they use the thing to start with. Hello! anybody home?

Why would anyone use the advert ridden limewire when they can use frostwire which is free of those ailments. And if you are like me and prefer a high performance client on your linux box, try gtk-gnutella, or even mutella for the console zealots among you.

It might be a silly question, but why? it’s not as if they are going to stop suing users of the gnutella network, so why would limewire share revenue with the devil?

The “clone” is already there!

In fact even Jon here advertises for it on the left of your screen!

And what is the paid “pro”-version in Lime is actually the default open source free one in Frost if I remember correctly!

“What?!? Only 40%?”
“Yeah? What’s with that? That’s not enough…”
“We demand 3.462*10^7 percents of ALL revenues from your application!”
“Yeah!”
“Yeah!”
“Brilliant!”

Won’t matter. Someone will just make a clone of it and it will become the new standard and people will forget about the original limewire or limewire pro software.

Kinda like what has happened with emule….it is still going…. while the original client “edonkey 2000″ is long dead and gone.

It will be the same with this program. People don’t want intrusive ads of any kind. Period.
