The internet regulation battle rages on. In what’s being called a major victory for the music industry, a New York federal judge has ordered the P2P(peer-to-peer) software maker LimeWire to immediately and permanently stop distributing and supporting its file-sharing software. This works because it’s a business within America being regulated, and LimeWire does have other avenues it’s pursuing and implementing, but as a whole I surmise this will destroy the company. Not only that, but it will only temporarily help the music industry. A LimeWire copycat will set up outside American jurisdiction, or an existing one will now get the power to become the new #1. However, I do actually agree with decision. No it won’t fix the problem, but the best we can do is take a stand ourselves. If the whole country takes a stand, even better.
