The day the music industry sued someone for $72 trillion
In the first decade of the 2000s, the recorded music industry lost millions to piracy. One of its solutions was to sue someone for more than the GDP of Earth.

Everyone is posting their wrapped so thought I would post mine
And before you ask, yes my computer does seem to be infected with a virus, how did you know?
A filthy and horny mix from Peaches, they would have had to play that late at night on the radio with some of those tunes, whew!
I know this was one of the first tunes I downloaded on Limewire and in the hallowed folder of mp3's which are now older than a few adults walking around right now.

BBC 6 Music are doing an all day Rave for 00s music and yes, some of those tracks I remember downloading off Limewire are 20+ years old now. I still have some of them, I have mp3's older than some adults walking around now.
I am a cultural preservationist!

LimeWire was a free peer-to-peer file sharing client for Windows, macOS, Linux and Solaris. Created by Mark Gorton in 2000, it was most prominently a tool used for the download and distribution of pirated materials, particularly pirated music.
(Wikipedia).
Aus einer Zeit vor Spotify. Ganz wichtig dabei: immer sofort nach Verbindungsgeschwindigkeiten sortieren.
Limewire habe ich geliebt... wurde dann von Soulseek abgeloest, das ich heute immer noch mal wieder nutze. Natuerlich nur fuer komplett freie Kunst, die ich sonst nirgends finde
My brain randomly went to “remember when you used Kazaa to download music?”
What was your late #nineties early 2000 file share app of choice?
Kids will never understand the struggle of trying to find a file that was real
boost for science and share your stories
For a limited time, Limewire—the resurrected brand of the early 2000s filesharing app—lets you play a game that emulates that MP3 downloading experience in exchange for merch and a forthcoming token. https://decrypt.co/126103/limewire-launches-nostalgic-music-downloading-game-with-crypto-rewards #limewire #filesharing #crypto
Please allow myself to introduce... myself.
I'm a #musicindustry /tech nerd/ #productmanager. I've worked on some stuff that maybe you love or hate:
#seatgeek
#spotify, Tomahawk, #limewire , #aol, #digiscents, #gameshark & more
I make mediocre (but improving) instrumental #guitar music, a non-trivial number of bad jokes, and I love portmanteaus way more than anyone should.
I talk a lot about the intersection of #music, #technology, #ticketing and live #events.
