| Maybe you should be a PARENT to your children, rather than forcing the "village" to go without because of your unwillingness to do so.
Take their computers out of their bedrooms and put them in a family area where they can be watched. Don't give them administrative-level accounts so it's harder for them to install things. Take them away if they abuse the privilege. Geez.
"Burying" useful technologies because you have no control over your children seems a bit Draconian, don't you think? |

said by Josimars :I hope hope they bury LimeWire I am sick and tired of deleted this software from my kids computer. Hmmm. There's bigger issues at stake, don't you think? What you've said is kinda like someone saying "I am sick and tired of people speeding in their cars up and down my street.... I hope they ban automobiles!"
For the good of consumers and the U.S. populace in general, it would be great if limewire wins... So defeat is probably a certainty.

It is limewire's fault you do not know how stop your children from installing it; either through learning how to use your computer or through parenting?
Strange. |

Every machine I get a call on to clean or repair has Limewire or eMule on it. Teens using it for getting music and apps. I even know a colleague that instead of getting a demo or buying something to use, goes to Limewire religiously. Asking for trouble.
If anything, Limewire should sue for entrapment, service tampering (as I am 90% sure RIAA has someone uploading trojans as mp3 files).Songs shouldn't be executables.
Can't blame the kids though. Many teens have no clue (look at study about remorse/consideration lacking in teen development) and just want peer acceptance.
What I want to know is, how does Limewire make any money? Are they selling ads in their P2Pware? Or selling IP information?
Yeah, goodluck LW. I wonder if they took the image for their logo from some pirated photo-clipart CD... |

Why is it anybody else's fault that you can't control your children? Agreed....put them on a limited account (if you are running Win2k or XP). Had to do that for my stepson when he got my puter infected awhile back.....if he wants something installed, I have to do it... |

Re: Hope.
Said like someone without children or an understanding of what it takes to control kids internet activities.
I use access-lists that only allow the kids PC's to go out http, https, AIM or MSN IM and for good measure their user profiles do not allow them to install programs. |
