Limewire sued for $72 Trillion
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/...the_world.html
It's laughable that Limewire is expected to pay more money than exists in the world today. Personally I'm all for piracy.

ROFLMAO. The RIAA is so obnoxious.

If anything, that's an understatement.

I owe those guys and gals a lot of the tunes on my netbook...that sum is laughable and absurd
Only in America.
wow. this is one of the stupidest things I have seen in a long, long time.
This will be thrown out of court.
LimeWire, like other file sharing groups, is not liable for content transmitted, any more than your
internet provider itself would be liable if you transmitted illegal content. Likewise, UPS is not liable
if you were to send someone a package of illegal drugs through their delivery service.
A 1994 U.S. Supreme Court decision* absolves carriers of tangible goods and intangibles
(such as internet transmissions) from wrong-doing provided they do not know about the content.
For example, think of the great expense UPS would encounter if they had to rip open every
package they handled, looking for contraband. Likewise, LimeWire cannot possibly be expected
to analyze and police each and every bit traveling through their networks.
There is a lot of legitimate content on file sharing networks. For example, if I snap a photo of
my new car, I expect to be able to share the photo with my friends without the government looking
over my shoulder. Besides there is much material which is copyright-free. For LimeWire to be held
responsible for pirated content would be like expecting them to pick fly crap out of black pepper.

Huh. I guess I'm behind the times, because I thought Limewire had already been run out of cyberspace.
yeah, no one uses limewire any more. This is definitely more about intimidation than anything else.

I love how Limewire is sued a long time after it's taken down.

Here is another reason this will get thrown out (if tried in the U.S.)

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
