Limewire in danger?

Recently sites that provide movie link's to be downloaded and watched were taken down because of their violation of copyright laws. Because i used one of the sites somewhat frequently i looked into it a little further. i found that Obama has pledged to fight against the piracy of music and movies online. what im wondering is are file sharing programs like limewire and frostwire going to be targeted and deleted? and will this crackdown on piracy turn from just prosecuting the sites owners and operators, to prosecuting the people who use these programs for DLing

BTW i realize this should probably be in media/arts but i felt it would get more traffic and thus a better response.

the music industry is transforming. no point in trying to stop it from changing, because it will.

just go on google, type in whatever you wanna download, and then type torrent at the end.

Ex: Google -> "song or album name here" torrent

thats what i do, works most of the time

Eh they are being targeted, but mostly now they are just making your IP provider charge you.

this. they are filled with diseases, and any song you find on lime/frostwire you are most likely to find on a file hosting website. i dont see the logic in using them

Limewire = garbage.

Torrent your music/movies or use mediafire. Much faster and easier, plus you get full albums.
