Most will be illegal! But there are cheap alternatives like itunes/amazon etc or some sites like emp3finder.com (don't know if it is legal or not).

this would be classified as illegal im pretty sure. \nif you dont care, then seriall.com. when u search, never click the first search result, and never download anything. when the popup comes up, scroll down.\nim not saying you should use this, im just letting you know its there. im against illegal programs.

Obviously someone's sadly mistaken thinking there's nothing illegal about it.  In order to get the license you will have to contact the studio that produces the video.  They'll discuss the pricing (if they're even willing) with you.  You can then agree or disagree.  One point to make though is they will require you use sometime of software to ensure the video is not seen after the time period allowed.

Downloading illegally is a crime and is theft.  Yes, it is a sin.\n\nThe people who created those movies, songs, and software own the rights.  By making illegal copies you are stealing from them.  You are literally picking their pockets.

that would mean you are doing something illegal.\n\nyou buy the program if you like it.\n if you can't buy it, save the money to do so\notherwise, stealing it is illegal.

Yes it is free but keep this in mind....  I may be mistaken but...\n\nIt is illegal to use Limewire to download copyrighted material from someone other than the owner of that material.\n\nIt is legal if they are the owners of that material, to, download to your hearts content.\n\nI think it might be against the law in Australia, could be wrong, depends were you are.\n\nWhat is VERY ILLEGAL about Limewire that people don't realize is that if you don't read, pay attention or whatever and get fooled into sharing everything on your computer, and, some of that everything includes other peoples private information and you let everyone have it, that is not just illegal, it is wrong.\n\nIf you don't believe me, using limewire, search for images called dscn or hpim , feel free to add a four digit number after it to mix things up. These are digi cam pictures, mostly from people who don't know they are sharing everything. Searching for text documents is an awesome power when trying to find business people who are sharing everthing. I am not saying to look into or do this.\n\nSee for yourself, one in 7 should be sharing well over 5000 files, easy. This is a serious problem. I am not joking. I have been trying to stop this for months.

U can use a P2P network ex..ARES and download all kinds of videos, music, coftware and others. But I  am not sure how secured it is...

It might be. But be wary. Limewire costs money to download, but the content has not been purchased by limewire and therefore all copywrited materials are illegal to download.

no its not illegal.  to my knowledge, no one has ever gotten into trouble for bit torrents capabilities including its creator.  his link is below.  its a well designed network is what it is.

No I dont think so, as it is a certified from a website. But Be Carefull, have a A/V and A Antispyware etc, just in case.

Bit torrrent or Limewire all are same. They allow people to share files among them. As such there use is not illegal but if using them to copy a movie or song from other's person pc, then it is piracy which is illegal. (When u download through a torrent then u actually download from other people's PC)

Downloading and uploading are both legal in and of themselves. The only problem is when you make copies of copyrighted material without the permission of the rightful owner. Exceptions exist if the copy is being made for personal backup, for news reporting or education.\n\nSometimes artists and production agencies won't "go after" uploaders or downloaders, depending on which file-sharing systems are used and how easy it is to locate the users. My suggestion is that even without a threat of prosecution or a lawsuit that you cease from future illegal file-sharing because the artists and their agencies have the ethical right to control the fruits of their labor, not you.

Limewire itself is legal, i use it constantly, its just that certain songs etc are not licensed and it's illegal to download those.. Its a great social downloading site.. I believe in sharing, especially since music is going downhill these days... why should we pay for the older stuff, when they're already millionaires and set for life... and i do think its fine for those without enough money to use it...\n\n\nFor 99 cents in china, you can buy a dvd, or full cd even.. Its so expensive in the rest of the world, its all power realism, getting more power and money...

Unfortunately you really cannot get away with downloading media content without a client of some sort.\n\nLet me ask you this; are you trying to circumvent your company's acceptable use policy?  Or you don't want to use a client of some sort because you do not have admin rights to your machine?\n\neither way; the best way to get media content without installing a client; use Opera 9 web browser-- it has a built in bit torrent client;\n\nJust access any torrent site and download away....\n\nI like to visit:  http://btjunkie.org\n\n\nOr if you're elite;\n\nyou could use google to search 'index/ of mp3' on web servers on the internet\n\n(this should warrant a BEST OF...answer) ;)

Thats because it is illegal to reproduce copyrighted material, you computer knows this. There is software you can find to decrypt the video, but how about just participating in the free market, and buy movies the legal way, freeloader.
