Limewire
Limewire allows individual computers to connect to and search other computers on the Gnutella Network. If you find a file you want, you can download it directly from the computer that holds it. That computer then becomes a server. All computers on the Gnutella network are both clients and servers.
Limewire is very popular, by December 2007 is had been installed on 18 percent of Windows PCs worldwide. The illegal downloading of copyright material is now a problem for LimeWire even though Limewire cautions its users against sharing songs and videos that are under copyright protection. In August 2006, the music industry sued LimeWire for enabling and promoting internet piracy of copyright-protected music and video.
