Not much time has passed since the 26^th October, when LimeWire was closed for violating the copyright infringement on a large scale. Now, it seems that it fetched up – acting for the common welfare of the users who are indulging themselves with pirated shared files.

After TorrentFreak, LimeWire developers had to shut down the company and remove the server’s remote settings so that the file-sharing service could stop working. “A secret dev team” restored the Gnutella network, enhancing its features.

After the black day of LimeWire’s forced shut down, many anonymous attacks against RIAA have been reported. The aftermath of these online clusters was the breakdown of RIAA website. It is supposed that the tension is considered by the hackers to be a “payback” for RIAA’s aggressive campaign against LimeWire.

Now, under the new under-cover title – LimeWire Pirate Edition (LPE), the application is available on downloading sites such as BitTorrent. The new version is even friendlier, running without Ask toolbar bundle or other unpleasant connections to LLC’s servers. Hence, TorrentFreak’s story telling states that “the piratical monkeys are doing this for the benefit of the community.”

The LimeWire case will resume on court in January, when the incriminated mark Gordon – the LimeWire’s founder will respond to Federal Judge Kimba Wood’s accusations of copyright infringement. The total damages are expected to count up to $1 billion.
