the FREE version is free, it has much less than the non-free version, no conflict, they only promote the free one for you to try it, and if you like it, buy the full version

limewire itself is not illegal.\n\ndownloading a copyrighted song off of limewire without paying for it is illegal.

Okay wait a minute while I pick myself up off the floor, are you kidding? Apple NEVER EVER would give you that free. You got to pay like the rest of us unless you download illegally and then watch out cause more likely then not you get what you pay for.

Limewire = Spyware.  Most people don't care about that when it comes to getting free music cuz hey, it's FREE.  "Small price to pay", huh?  Search "free mp3" on google, I can't remember the exact sites but there are a few that actually get mp3's from source websites that give out free samples of songs (entire songs, used to entice people to buy albums).  I like Shareaza for p2p, personally (no spyware, guaranteed), but after being privvy to SEVERAL people who got busted for illegal dl'ing, I now use yahoo for all of my music.  $5 a month, can't beat that.  'Course it costs more if ya wanna burn the songs to a cd or put them on a portable player (bc of DRM) , but it's a "small price to pay" for freedom :D\n\nP.S.  After reading over my post, I came to the realization that lots of people were recommending Limewire Pro, which supposedly doesn't have spyware, unlike the basic version which does.  Shareaza has a much bigger selection and I've found it to be faster, though.  You decide, if you wanna go the illegal route.  Peace out.\n\nP.P.S. - Downloading on 56k would mean about 1 song per 15-20 minutes.  Still not too bad.  Course, the cheapest 56k ISP costs what... $10, give or take.  Verizon dsl will only cost you $15 for 756k.  Think about it.  That would make each song = 30 seconds, approx.  Good riddance, and I promise no more modifying of my extremely long post.

They own a copy of the product, but not the product itself.\n\nAnd it's not illegal to download, but it is illegal to upload music, movies, etc.

There is no "free" music on the web, only illegal. If you want illegal music, you have to get bearshare or limewire.

i tried and it prompted me to pay 7.95 a month (or something). so i haven't been back. also, the green cd logos are free downloads, and the yellow cd logos will cost ya (the logos are on the left side of your screen)

Quite frequently, software companies or Internet service providers will distribute their software for free, but charge a monthly user fee if you want to use the program after a certain trial period.  The income they receive from the monthly fees is much more than the cost of distributing the free software.\n\nMozilla, the providor of the Firefox programs. also sells advertising that displays on their programs.

Before I start, all file sharing programs themselves are legal. It's how you use them that make your activities legal or illegal. If you download copyrighted works then what you are doing is illegal. However there are many good uses of file-sharing. Some programs other than Limewire are Frostwire, Shareaza, and any BitTorrent clients (Azureus).

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.

i was just wondering is the price not an issue cuz u got money or cuz you know a place where u can get it for free. If its the latter one then i would love to know what it is

ok,\nfirstly limewire is not illegal as it is p2p file sharing.\n\nThe best thing to do is to open limewire click on programmes and search for   limewire pro version then simply download that version. it is far better than the free version .  \nit also beats having to pay for it :)\nI have used limewire for over 2 years and have never had any problems with it.\nhope this helps\nPHIL M

YOU CAN NOT GET IT FOR free! All websites that you can get a movie for free are illegal. Pirating movies is a crime
