A US judge has dismissed an antitrust lawsuit brought by the maker of LimeWire against the Recording Industry Association of America.

Lime Group alleged that RIAA members - the major record companies - had refused to do a deal that would have legitimised the use of the LimeWire p2p application to share music files over the internet.

Lime Group complained that the record companies were happy to do business with firms in which they had a stake, but wanted to "destroy any online music distribution service they did not own or control, or force such services to do business with them on exclusive and/or other anticompetitive terms".
