LimeWire Sued Again, Publishers Seek $150,000 Per Song

betterunixthanunix writes "Another lawsuit has been filed against LimeWire, this time by the National Music Publishers Association. They claim that LimeWire also damaged them, and seek $150,000 per infringement, putting the maximum possible damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars. LimeWire seems to have become the latest music industry punching bag. 'David Israelite, chief executive of the publishers' association, said his organization had decided to bring the complaint because most publishers were not represented in the record company lawsuit and they were now confident that they had a winning case. ... LimeWire, which says it is trying to start a new paid subscription model, said in a statement on Wednesday that it welcomed the publishers to the table. '"

    Not even the greatest song in the world?

    No, and I assume you mean "Muskrat Love" by The Captain and Tennille.

    "The only thing murder leads to is more murder"

    Now not only do you ignore history but you forget basic nature.

    Death in all forms is a naturally-occuring thing. Sadly, you fail to understand this. NATURE IS BY DEFINITION MURDEROUS.

    Ignorant fool. Spend a night outside of civilization and learn reality.
