Limewire has been shut down, is this the end of illegal downloading?

The 4-year legal battle between the record industry and File Sharing site LimeWire has finally come to an end. The website has been ordered to stop supplying its software and block all unauthorised files to stop them from being shared. This will put the end to the worlds biggest file sharing service, with over 50 million monthly users and apparently costing the record industry around $500 million a month. With software such as BitTorrent and other means of file sharing, this definitely won't be the end of illegal downloading, but we think this is clearly going to make a difference to the record industry.
Obviously we think people should enjoy legal music, and if musicians didn't get money from what they do then we probably wouldn't have some of the biggest decent bands around! It's becoming a lot more common for bands to give away their music and ask for donations, which we think is a brilliant way forward, and everyones happy, so high five to this idea!

My LimeWire client runs just fine. LimeWire is prohibited from servicing or distributing it's software but the clients out there continue to function fine. This is NOT the end of downloading it is just the beginning. We have Frostwire and BearShare and Shareeeza and torrents so there is no lack of sources for downloading. We are dancing on the graves of the music industry!!!!!!!!!!
