LimeWire: the latest P2P demon to go legit

August 9th, 2007 • Internet, Music, Video

And so they fall, one by one. LimeWire is still one of the most popular P2P apps, and I’d guess that not everyone uses it to download unsigned acts from Idaho.

But today LimeWire has announced its intention to go commercial. You can expect the opening ceremony for the LimeWire music store any day soon, and it will be retailing MP3 files to paying all-comers. The company has already signed deals with IRIS Distribution and Nettwerk Productions, and is smiling broadly at any other music distributors looking to get on board.

The store will be a website at first, with links to it from within the file-sharing program. The LimeWire move follows the commercial launch earlier this year of the latest version of the popular Azureus P2P app, renamed Vuze and billed as ‘Hi-Def Theatre’. The new application offers a fairly mind-bending array of videos from major networks to hire or buy.
