Limewire sues record companies

1400 days ago

By Nancy Gohring

Peer-to-peer (P-to-P) file-sharing software developer Limewire has countersued the biggest record companies, charging them with anti-competitive behaviour.

The suit, filed Monday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, follows the closing of most of the popular file-sharing websites due to lawsuits initiated by record companies. It also comes on the heels of a suit filed by 13 record companies against Limewire, accusing the developer of music piracy and demanding damages that could amount to $476 million.
