Top Tech News : File-Sharing Site LimeWire Shut Down by Federal Court

"In another victory for the Recording Industry Association of America, music-sharing site LimeWire has been shut down by a federal court. The RIAA also sued to close Napster and Grokster, and called LimeWire a "massive piracy machine." Another trial will determine damages, with the RIAA seeking $450 million from LimeWire principals." ~

As much as I do not like to see the RIAA win, I am actually seeing this as a good thing. When working a tech bench for a computer repair company, I saw Limewire a lot on machines that were riddled with viruses. But I see an even worse side to this also, this means people will use the more dangerous ways to get their music and not the ones that annoyed me.
For those of you that are just looking for a way to listen to music at work, and have a computer with an internet connection, you should try Grooveshark.
