LimeWire is a Scam
       That's right.  LimeWire is a scam, pure and simple.  "Well of course," you say.  "It's scamming the music industry by allowing people to illegally dowload music for free."  While that is true, it is not what I'm talking about.  In fact, the music industry deserves to be scammed.  After all, they scam you by charging rediculous prices for CDs.  Anyway my original point is that LimeWire is scamming you, the downloader, as well.  They're playing both sides - bastards.  Did you know that LimeWire is hooked up to servers that track your downloads?  Well it is, and when you've downloaded a certain amount of songs (about 2,500), they call the cops on you.  "But Leif, the likelihood of me downloading 2,500 songs from LimeWire is very low.  While that may be true, it's the principle of the thing.  What LimeWire is doing is like a drug-dealer selling drugs to someone, turning them into the police for buying drugs, and getting away to sell more drugs.

Drug Dealer:  "Hello, 911, I'm a drug-dealer.  I just sold drugs to one Lindsay Lohan.  Thought you might want to know."

Police:  "Why, thank you.  What a concerned citizen you are!  Have a nice day!"

        Now isn't that completely absurd?  But that's pretty much what LimeWire is doing.  Then, you have the RIAA, who places fake songs on LimeWire to catch people.  Talk about borderline entrapment!  They get away with this too!  So, I strongly urge you to boycott LimeWire in every way possible.  To do so, I've prepared a top three list of alternate P2P file sharing programs, all of which are actually better than LimeWire anyway.  Here goes:

1.  FrostWire
-This was created by former employees of LimeWire.  It's basically LimeWire Pro, only you don't get caught.  This is what I use for the most part and I love it.

2.  Ares
-I use this one as well.  It searches faster than FrostWire, but takes longer to download things.  However, I still highly recommend it.

3.  Morpheus
-This number 3 because it does not have the benefit of my personal experience.  However, I've heard good things about it.

Now that you are enlightened to the evils of LimeWire, get out there and get one of the above three programs today!
