Redditor jokes LimeWire is now a “champion against the darkness.”
Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that the Limewire you knew is no longer. From Wikipedia:
Name reuse by unrelated companies
In 2022, Austrian brothers Julian and Paul Zehetmayr bought LimeWire’s intellectual property and turned it into an NFT service.
LimeWire’s name was revived in 2022 for an unrelated music-based NFT platform, an action with which Gorton expressed displeasure.Please don’t use no crypto bro NFT infused trash. Go watch the segment from Archive.org.
Seed the torrent if you wanna spread the word.It’s infinitely safer than this sketchy ass company.

Oh cool. I didn’t realize the cam rip was the original.
I love how the censored segment was ‘accidentally’ published in Canada.
Feigned incompetence and malicious compliance is a great way to resist fascists and collaborators.
I mean… Its on YouTube already 💁♂️ Idk why people act like the internet doesnt exist. Bari Weiss is stupid. If she actually wanted to people not to see this, she should have just let it air, it would have had far less viewes then it will now.
Seriously, I popped in just to say this. How fucking hard is it for people to understand the Streisand effect?
Weiss def didn’t make that decision, she’s just the face following marching orders from above. She sucks, but let’s not pretend like she has any real power
I mean she does have that power tho lol. That is her whole job, anything that gets aired she has to approve. And this sudden political shift cbs has been making only started when she got her position as editor in chief. You can pretend she’s insignificant if you want but that isn’t reality. She even made a whole statement about why she didn’t approve the segment claiming how “certain information wasn’t verified” and blah blah blah
Yeah I guess. I just don’t think if she started making decisions that went against the oligarchs that she’d retain her position much longer. So she “decides” what the billionaires and criminals already want decided.
I mean, yes, this is true, but I don’t think she has any interest in not doing what they say or disapprove of what they’re doing.
The use of Limewire in this context seems to be more of an interesting news novelty.
That being said, in any democratic leaning country that truly values freedom (in the real sense, not the polemical American sense), the distribution of such media would not be an issue and you wouldn’t have to resort to Limewire, a torrent would suffice or even another broadcast TV network would air with violation of copyright.
Quaint. Its like they haven’t heard of Archive
Or BitTorrent
Lol we just had it circulating as is. The video was all over the fedi.
Using limewire was historically like having unprotected sex with the internet
I did see this headline yesterday and then downloaded the 60 minutes segment using Nicotine+ which is a Soulseek client. I did look at an alternative to Limewire for linux called “Frostwire” but apparently it’s now just a bittorrent client, where it used to support Gnutella in the past. And finally I did find that the internet archive of course had a torrent available which I also got for good measure.
EDIT: It was possible to get something with gtk-gnutella, but it was nowhere near as fast, nor did I get more than just one result. It may be more resiliant, but if nobody is using it..
That’s cool! Unfortunately there’s not much people sharing files… Let me start gtkg and check it.
but if nobody is using it…
Someone needs to start it :-)
