Well whether it's going nowhere or not, people may still enjoy discussing it.

And on topic, it's not over until the fat lady sings, as in, it's not truly 'dead' until it's declared illegal/shut down completely.

Good riddance? Not a chance - whether we like it or not, knocking out limewire simply moved the people who use it to one of many replacements.

The US courts and media companies are simply playing a giant game of whack-a-mole, and if you forgive the switch of metaphor, every head they cut off this hydra means 2 or more others that they need to deal with.
