I remember LimeWire.
Millions of people were able to legally and illegally share files, including mp3s, video games, other software, and porn, thanks to the peer-to-Peer sharing network.
The site's husk has changed into something completely different.
The LimeWire brand will be revived and turned into an NFT platform more than a decade after it was shut down due to legal troubles.
Rather than facilitating the free sharing of music and other files, the company wants you to pony up some cash to buy ephemeral digital collectibles.
A cringeworthy new ad shows the new LimeWire in action, with a redheaded person going from sharing mp3s as a child to enthusiastically buying NFTs with a friend, though we can't tell for sure.
Netizens reacted negatively to the news.
One user said that LimeWire came back with a new relaunch as a NFT marketplace.
Observers didn't see the irony of a company changing from one use to another.
One joked that LimeWire was a marketplace for a scam.
The affiliation is named only. Limewire is run by a different team.
It's a sad day. It's not like the company was phased by the questionable nature of what they were doing before with the advent of Cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
