Facebook bans LimeWire from sharing songs with friends
Earlier this year, P2P client LimeWire got a new feature that allowed people to share files with their Facebook friends. Well, it’s been slapped down by the social network, after initially asking LimeWire to make some changes to the way it worked.
“Unfortunately, this week we were contacted again… this time not with a change request, but with a notice that they are going to disable the feature,” blogs LimeWire’s Jason Herskowitz. “Rather than leave you with a broken LimeWire, we decided to disable the feature before they did so.”
It’s not the first time Facebook has acted not-so-friendly with file-sharers – earlier this year, it squashed a similar feature on The Pirate Bay.
