My view of Limewire as being badly designed is upheld. And that's still not enough? "Someone, somewhere, wrote a software program which gives me the option of sharing my files. If I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and no will to learn, I could distribute a file I don't really want to." I have absolutely no problem attempting to educate (both privately, those around you) and publically (through various means) the dangers of making portions of your hard drive available through the internet. The problem comes when this turns into "make the software itself illegal!" That's ridiculous, and such legislation could very well hurt the purposes it's trying to serve.

Sometimes limitation is good. Sharing is good when it is of yourself and of those things that belong to you. Sharing becomes bad when you give away, without permission, something that does not belong to you.
