L0000000L Limewire was the scabies of warez

There was nothing on Limewire that didn't start out on one of the warez sites, usually repackaged with clumsy bullshit scene kidz .nfo files and almost always with a lot of the functionality broken. And you TOTALLY hosted the whole file. Whether you liked it or not. Inviting Limewire into your life was inviting someone's haxie browser to cruise your entire hard drive and post its contents for everyone else with Limewire installed.

There was nothing on Limewire that wasn't put there by someone who didn't need to use Limewire.
