This is good news folks  :)

A US television station has had to back down on claims that P2P software will fill your computer with viruses.
7News reported how during its 'exclusive' test it downloaded Limeware software only to find it contained password cracking software.

Our report miffed INQ reader Dominic Webb who contacted the 7News hack, Tony Kovaleski, and called him out on his claim.
Sure enough, after a bit more digging it turned out the TV hack had got it all wrong and confirmed that Limewire did not include any password cracking software.

The telly company has since modified its 'exclusive' story. Next week it might be a writing a P2P gives you cancer story, so watch carefully.

Time after time we have been treated to misleading news from big companies that have a vested interest or are owned by the media Cartels.
I hope more people challenge the near-lies put out by what it seems are unprofessional news organisations who make no effort to check facts, I like to think its because of laziness but who knows..

Funny, but it must have been exclusive...

They downlaoded it and got a password cracker, while so many millions have done so and have said anything....
Only shows the kind of lunatics they are lol
