File-Sharing Network LimeWire Files Countersuit Against RIAAAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on September 27, 2006 - 6:08am.
San Francisco - LimeWire, a long-running peer-to-peer file-sharing service that was recently sued for copyright infringement by the major record labels, on Monday filed a countersuit alleging the labels have engaged in unfair business practices, CNET News.com reported. "Their goal was simple: to destroy any online music distribution service they did not own or control, or force such services to do business with them on exclusive and/or other anticompetitive terms," LimeWire says in its countersuit, which alleges the labels violated the Sherman Act and Clayton Act. "While most commercial illicit P2P networks have ultimately abided by the Supreme Court's unanimous decision, LimeWire is a conspicuous holdout," an RIAA representative told News.com. "A kitchen sink of frivolous charges doesn't change the law, the Supreme Court's ruling or the fact that LimeWire has built a business based on theft and continues to profit from it." Following the Supreme Court's file-sharing decision, the RIAA sent cease-and-desist letters to a number of file-sharing networks, including LimeWire; since that time, i2Hub, BearShare, iMesh, WinMX and eDonkey have all shut down their free file-sharing networks.
