very tempted to raise my pinky finger to the corner of my lip whilst simultaneously squinting my eyes with one raised eyebrow.

Re: Limewire sued for $25Trillion

I'd like to add that the notion of downloading songs was unprecedented and unexpected from the music industry - it evolved along with the internet. More importantly, you cannot accurately quantify the amount of "damage" done to the music industry since the advent of music downloading. How someone even attempted to quantify an actual value is beyond me. It could be next to guessing. It's really pointless. "I want it all" is what the music industry's saying...and that sends a different message than simply "help pay for my losses." It really says "I'm greedy."

correct good sir


anyways, I doubt this will go any further, seems like a joke, I'm sure something could've been done a loooong time ago to shut limewire down, and there wouldn't be any money wise problems

This post says what I was going to.

Re: Limewire sued for $25Trillion

they also can't account for those people who downloaded an album first and decided to purchase it later. since it's unlikely these people would otherwise buy an album twice, the music industry itself suffered no losses.

also, $75 trillion? i mean we've all seen some fairly ludicrous lawsuits before but god damn. it's hard to come up with anyone who deserves that money less, and easier to think of many who deserve it more, were it even possible to come by.

LimeWire probably deserves to be sued for 75 trillion for being such a preposterously shitty piece of software

Re: Limewire sued for $25Trillion

They'd use it to pay the obscene lawyer fees required to sue everyone with an internet connection for 8 billion per song.

Re: Limewire sued for $25Trillion

Wow 75 trillion...

If i had that kind of money, i would pay off the national debt. Hell, i would put in like 30 trillion and still be the richest person in the world. This is seriously a joke.

Re: Limewire sued for $25Trillion

Baio, who is scheduled to represent Lime Wire when the damages trial begins on May 2, joked that the money that the record companies sought from his client would be better spent on paying for health care or wiping out the national debt.
