Josh Halliday, Guardian; LimeWire settles filesharing legal battle for $105m:
"LimeWire has agreed to pay record companies $105m (£64m) to end a five-year legal battle over illegal filesharing.
The out-of-court settlement with 13 record companies, including labels owned by the four major groups, comes days after the start of a trial to decide damages following a decision that the service was liable for "massive scale infringement" for helping users pirate digital music files.
LimeWire, which the music groups blame for $1bn in lost sales, was shut down in October following a court ruling."
