Limewire is still out there. For how much longer, I don't know. I notice the pickin's have been getting slimmer over the last few months. Now might be the time to go hog-wild, if its days are numbered.

Busy, busy RIAA! But where are the bar-code type sound spectrograph bar-chart identifiers on each album? The personal attacks continue, without any effort to provide accurate reference so as to assure accurate recognition.

No problems seeing the page here, so it sounds like a coincidental technical problem for you.

Temple, it doens't make sense that the page would be entirely shut down, so maybe it's some co-incidental technical problem. Still, I'm gettin' dead air.

The first time I visited grokster.com was just now. This is what it says The United States Supreme Court unanimously confirmed that using this service to trade copyrighted material is illegal. Copying copyrighted motion picture and music files using unauthorized peer-to-peer services is illegal and is prosecuted by copyright owners. There are legal services for downloading music and movies. This service is not one of them. Grokster hopes to have a safe and legal service available soon. If you are interested in that service, go to www.grokster3g.com, or send an email to: info @ grokster3g.com to be included in the beta for the next generation.
