![]() ![]() LimeWire’s new owners – Austrian tech execs Paul and Julian Zehetmayr – are targeting partnerships with artists to sell “limited editions, pre-release music, unreleased demos, graphical artwork, exclusive live versions, as well as digital merchandise and backstage content” as NFTs, with the promise of “top-tier artists” – but no names yet. “A mainstream-ready digital collectibles marketplace for art and entertainment, initially focusing on music,” as the company’s announcement put it, with plans to launch in May. Yet the new LimeWire is steering clear of those waters in favour of the most #2022 of returns: NFTs. It’s fair to say few people in the music industry were hoping for a comeback for LimeWire in 2022, given its history as one of the biggest filesharing services used by many people for music piracy.
