Imagine facing a lawsuit for $75 trillion. You heard right: $75 trillion. As a reference, the US's GDP in 2019 was $21.433 trillion.
So, someone pissed off the wrong crowd. And that someone was Limewire.
It was one of the most popular P2P clients in the 2000's. It allowed millions to download music, images, software, and videos, as well. But its legacy is also tainted with darkness.
So, what happened to Limewire? We'll tell you all about it in this episode of Forensics.
