The four largest recording companies claim in court papers that Lime Wire, the company behind the LimeWire file-sharing service, has thumbed its nose at a court injunction that requires the peer-to-peer network be shut down, CNET has learned.
"Defendants have demonstrated in no uncertain terms that they either will not or cannot do what the injunction commands," wrote lawyers working for the Recording Industry Association of America.
The RIAA, the trade group for the major labels, asked the court yesterday in a 20-page document to appoint a "receiver" to ensure that Lime Wire complies with the injunction issued last month by U.S. District Court Judge Kimba Wood in the Southern District of New York. After hearing evidence presented by the RIAA, as part of the group's federal copyright complaint filed against Lime Wire in 2007, Wood ordered the company to disable "the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading...and/or all functionality" of the LimeWire software.
