It’s hard to see how anyone would be willing to pay for such shoddy product when they’re already trying to get it for free.

It’s not iTunes, but it looks like it could be a viable business.

Emusic seems to do quite well with that business model …

when you’re on a level playing field with itunes, you’re toast. especially when your front end is inferior AND you don’t play on an ipod.

when drm is gone, there will be 100 companies rushing into this market. the only thing that will separate them is the front end user experience.

pipes become a commodity.

Very few web services have done this succesffully. In face, Match.com is about the only one that pops to mind.

I downloaded Limewire to my home desktop and not only did it slow it down, but I am convinced it was single-handedly responsible for crashing my machine all together.

I say when life hands you limewire, make some limeade…and then go get your music somewhere else.

I think they have one of the best methods – allowing you to listen to songs multiple times.

Thats what people know Limewire for. Free everything, some dont even know its “illegal”.
