LimeWire was ordered to shut its doors Tuesday after receiving an injunction from the U.S. district court of New York. The ruling specifically mandated Lime Group, the operators of LimeWire, to disable its searching, downloading, uploading and file sharing mechanisms. The move ends a longstanding war between the site and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which has rallied against the site, which it accuses of promoting piracy of copyrighted content. The site claims to be in the midst of developing new software that won’t break copyright law, but a cloud has hung over the firm for months.
