Meet the new LimeWire: The first truly mainstream NFT platform for music and more – a bespoke place for artists to engage with their community.

LimeWire, the popular peer-to-peer file sharing app from the early aughts that was resurrected by new owners in 2022 as an NFT marketplace, is back once again. But this time it’s just the platform’s retro branding that’s making a comeback as part of a new officially licensed apparel collection from lifestyle brand Dumbgood.

The current iteration of LimeWire has no affiliation with the original company (Lime Group LLC) that developed the popular file sharing app. The modern web3-focused version of LimeWire claimed an expired trademark and purchased the LimeWire.com domain from a former developer in 2021, according to Torrent Freak.

Doesn't sound like it really exists as such but rather like it is used to flesh out the name.

For the prices they're asking for, for the shirt and jacket, they had better blow me. I'm not going to go out of my way to buy merch about something that is too niche and only worth small talk about.

Very cool but pricey.
