"...According to the source, the shutdown is a consequence of a June suit filed by the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA), following a similar suit by of 13 record labels and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which also sued LimeWire for copyright infringement. The judge in that case ruled for the RIAA.
The RIAA wanted the site shut down immediately, but the judge said on June 8 that LimeWire could remain open for at least another two weeks. At the time, Lime Wire said a permanent injunction "could hold back the creation of new digital-music technologies that Lime Wire is in the process of developing."..." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2371462,00.asp
