Limewire and alternatives are of interest to me yet I have no interest in downloading any content via those services. Why am I interested in Limewire and friends? Partly because I like to know what's going on in the tech world and partly because I'm interested in what other people are up to. But mostly because I find the ongoing fight between the RIAA and co and the pirates massively interesting. In what other industry does a leading industry body actively harass potential customers in what appears from the outside to be a losing battle?

I'm pretty sure that the people looking for alternatives don't need to read PC Mag to find them.
