NEW YORK - LimeWire, the music file-sharing service embroiled in a lengthy legal challenge from the music industry, said on Friday it would be shutting down by the end of the year and closing its sole office in New York.

In October, a US federal judge granted the music industry's request to shut down the popular LimeWire file-sharing service, which had been found liable for copyright infringement.

"As a result of our current legal situation, we have no choice but to wind down LimeWire Store operations," LimeWire said in a statement on Friday.

"Despite our dedication and efforts, December 31, 2010, will mark the day when LimeWire Store shuts its virtual doors."

LimeWire said its plan to bring a separate, legal music service to market had been canceled.

LimeWire is one of the world's biggest outlets for people to share music, movies and TV shows free of charge over the Internet.

Founded in 2000 by Mark Gorton, LimeWire has been a thorn in the side of record companies because millions of fans used it to download music for free.

The music industry blames online and physical piracy as the primary reasons for declining music sales.

LimeWire has also been criticized by Hollywood.

The case is Arista Records LLC et al v Lime Group et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 06-05936.

even if limewire is out of the equation... there's still lot's of options

I find searching on google a good way to find things, there are so many sites that source music nowadays you just have to be patient with all the useless stuff + pop ups.
