That’s right, Limewire. That’s the place that the apple people had to go to get their free music. For years, it’s been incredibly easy for people who didn’t own macs to get free music. And I never really understood why people used Limewire, but apparently it was one of the few that was available to apple people.

Limewire isn't a "where." It's a Gnutella client, at one point the most popular one on both Mac and Windows; I think Morpheus has overtaken it on Win. Mac users have as many opportunities to steal music as Windows users do.

Right, Gnutella, theres a blast from the past.

I had Gnutella back in the day. Kazaa was another biggie.

Also I didn’t say “where” even though you put “where” in quotes. You could say “place”.

It was a p2p, right, before torrents? You download software, and these systems sometimes mesh with each other. These came right after Napster? Somewhat similar to eMule but earlier? I was using eMule until somewhat recently, the last 3 or 4 years.

bittorrent and the pirate bay, blogspot.com and rapidshare.

just did some research
