"It's been a long, slow demise for the once mighty file sharing service, but LimeWire has now taken one last big step towards being a footnote in internet history. The company reached an out of court settlement with the major record labels yesterday, which will see it and its founder, Mark Gorton, fork over $105 million to finally put an end to its longstanding dispute with the RIAA. In a statement, the RIAA said that the settlement was \"another milestone in the continuing evolution of online music to a legitimate marketplace that appropriately rewards creators,\" while LimeWire's attorney said simply that he was \"pleased that this case has concluded.\" You'll note, of course, that the RIAA said \"another\" milestone -- it's obviously still hoping for plenty more settlements or legal victories where this one came from."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
