 )To talk about internet piracy and not bring up lime-wire would be wrong. This was, after all, the pioneer for internet piracy. Like bitTorrent©, it had a sincere motive and and had intentions for legitimacy. Limewire came in two models, Free and Enhanced but most people downloaded the free application as there was little difference between the two. What this company got into trouble for was the fact that there was no compensation by  Lime GroupLLC to the record companies. However, due to the fact that it Peer to Peer sharing, it was difficult to figure out show who would be compensated.
