In a recent internet scandal, a Limewire employee was caught using BitTorrent to download movies. Limewire declined comment and did not immediately return phone calls.

According to Limewire.com, “Limewire is a fast, easy-to-use file sharing program that contains no spyware, adware or other bundled software.” Users can search, preview, and download music, videos, and porn from the internet.

Apparently, using a BitTorrent is illegal, and can get you into trouble. NBC found out about this allegedly illegal activity and sent the offender a notice. He claims it was a dishonest mistake. “I…I had no idea. I just really, really wanted to watch Hot Fuzz. For free. Like I do on TV. But on the internet. And Limewire just didn’t have it on the network. I was willing to do anything for Hot Fuzz.” Including betraying his company.

The yet to be named offender has been courted to work for BitTorrent, but has no immediate plans of resigning from Limewire. “Limewire is just so cool. And it’s kind of legal too. But not really. But kind of. Working for BitTorrent is just going to get me into more trouble. But not too much trouble.”

Asked if he would curtail his internet activity, the employee responded, “I’ll definitely be spending less time on the internet, downloading things. Not.”
