Record company lawyers - What colour is the fuckin sky in your world? :facepalm:
LimeWire, the company behind the free peer-to-peer file sharing program of the same name, is being sued for $75 trillion, reports Law.com.

Citing Section 504(c) of the Copyright Act, a team of thirteen record companies claim that Lime Wire’s file-sharing program made the company liable for the numerous alleged copyright infringements committed by users. The maximum award per infringement is $150,000, which the record companies seek to multiply by the 10,000 estimated infringements.

    Holy jesus christ, 75 trillion?! That's pretty incredible, although I thought that Limewire itself was pretty well covered by their massive amount of terms and conditions? If anything, it should be the users of the service getting fined and not Limewire. After all, they're not actually doing anything wrong, right?
