Redditor jokes LimeWire is now a “champion against the darkness.”
Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that the Limewire you knew is no longer. From Wikipedia:
Name reuse by unrelated companies
In 2022, Austrian brothers Julian and Paul Zehetmayr bought LimeWire’s intellectual property and turned it into an NFT service.
LimeWire’s name was revived in 2022 for an unrelated music-based NFT platform, an action with which Gorton expressed displeasure.Please don’t use no crypto bro NFT infused trash. Go watch the segment from Archive.org.
Seed the torrent if you wanna spread the word.It’s infinitely safer than this sketchy ass company.
The early 2000s music sharing software company LimeWire — now resurrected as a crypto company by new owners — won rights to the infamous Fyre Festival in an auction that was held on eBay, reportedly beating out Ryan Reynolds’ company for the rights.
Just get it on archive.org; it’s probably a lot safer.
I love how the censored segment was ‘accidentally’ published in Canada.
Feigned incompetence and malicious compliance is a great way to resist fascists and collaborators.
I mean… Its on YouTube already 💁♂️ Idk why people act like the internet doesnt exist. Bari Weiss is stupid. If she actually wanted to people not to see this, she should have just let it air, it would have had far less viewes then it will now.
Seriously, I popped in just to say this. How fucking hard is it for people to understand the Streisand effect?
Weiss def didn’t make that decision, she’s just the face following marching orders from above. She sucks, but let’s not pretend like she has any real power
I mean she does have that power tho lol. That is her whole job, anything that gets aired she has to approve. And this sudden political shift cbs has been making only started when she got her position as editor in chief. You can pretend she’s insignificant if you want but that isn’t reality. She even made a whole statement about why she didn’t approve the segment claiming how “certain information wasn’t verified” and blah blah blah
Yeah I guess. I just don’t think if she started making decisions that went against the oligarchs that she’d retain her position much longer. So she “decides” what the billionaires and criminals already want decided.
I mean, yes, this is true, but I don’t think she has any interest in not doing what they say or disapprove of what they’re doing.
Quaint. Its like they haven’t heard of Archive
Or BitTorrent
The use of Limewire in this context seems to be more of an interesting news novelty.
That being said, in any democratic leaning country that truly values freedom (in the real sense, not the polemical American sense), the distribution of such media would not be an issue and you wouldn’t have to resort to Limewire, a torrent would suffice or even another broadcast TV network would air with violation of copyright.
Gnutella network is definitely still active, athough not even close to the level it once was. It has plenty of drawbacks but one of the few advantages over torrents is that it doesn’t need trackers. Just enough clients online to connect with one another.
You can even still find Shareaza with a quick search.
Lol we just had it circulating as is. The video was all over the fedi.
The corporate entity that now owns lime wire, didnt they also previousLy do a bunch of NFT nonsense?
What a joke
Article also uses the term “limewire torrent”… 🤦♂️
Using limewire was historically like having unprotected sex with the internet
