LimeWire Is Back From the Dead As a Web3 BrandIt’s safe to say that LimeWire has undergone significant transformations since its inception in May 2000. After being shut down in October 2011, the legacy platform appeared to have been in limbo until the brand rights were acquired by Austrian brothers and businessmen Julian and Paul Zehetmayr in 2021.
During the initial NFT boom, the two undoubtedly saw the parallel between the defiant, peer-to-peer NFT culture and that of peak LimeWire before settling on plans to bring the brand onto the blockchain as an NFT marketplace.
Now, the “new LimeWire” has emerged to help reinvent how fans and artists share content and interact with each
other. So, what is this latest version of the defunct service? In essence, as explained on the LimeWire website, the new LimeWire is “a platform for content creators, artists, and brands to create membership-based communities for their most passionate fans.”
