Limewire Shut Down
A visit to the Limewire website stops visitors cold with a popup message and a link to the actual court injunction:
“THIS IS AN OFFICIAL NOTICE THAT LIMEWIRE IS UNDER A COURT-ORDERED INJUNCTION TO STOP DISTRIBUTING AND SUPPORTING ITS FILE-SHARING SOFTWARE. DOWNLOADING OR SHARING COPYRIGHTED CONTENT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION IS ILLEGAL.”
Nonetheless, the company insisted that it has not been permanently put out of business.
"While this is not our ideal path, we hope to work with the music industry in moving forward," LimeWire said in a prepared statement. "We look forward to embracing necessary changes and collaborating with the entire music industry in the future."

However will the recent battle against p2p file sharing sites affect newly released Frostwire?
FrostWire is an Andriod App that allows smart phone users to share files over phon'e Wi-Fi connections.
