I have personally used limewire . Its quite safe though having a firewall installed would be a better bet as it s P2P network and accessing someones computer and other files is not a remote possibility. With a firewall you can be safe.\n\nA hint I would like to give you to avoid viruses etc. is always pay close attention to the size of the file you are downloading. If your downloading a music file download one which is reasonably big and which has many multiple downloads.\n\nThere have been many instances when I have seareched for a file generally music and got only one result . A file thats 149.1 Kb in size. This is a VIRUS or crap Do not download these.\n\nThats all I can say, personally I am very happy with Limewire .

Well, it is free, and so are the song downloads. But most of the popular songs which u download are illegal. However, the laws are not very strict, and before they catch you, they'll go and catch the webmaster of limewire.\nSo go and download. It IS free.\nHowever, if u have got limited download/upload on your Internet, beware. because limewire also uses ur computer to transfer files from others. So u could be 'charged' for exceeding your download/upload limit

Sorry sweetie, not legally.\nAnd the ones on P2P networks are shoddy quality, and not worth the effort or the risk.

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).

Dangerous in what way?  Limewire could present some very serious risks to you if you're getting music/media that you're not paying for.\n\nIn terms of viruses, you should ensure before downloading anything that you have good anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-phishing (e.g. McAfee) software on your machine and run periodic system scans.

Limewire is a free P2P program that will let you...but as a disclaimer, it is also illegal since that music you are downloading is liscensed.

Limewire the program is not illegal, "Can you do illegal things with it?" is another question.\n\nYou can do illegal things like downloading music, movies, and games with it.\n\nOnce again, the program is not illegal, but downloading copywriting music, games, software, and cinema is.

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...

No, not always.\n\nIt depends upon the country you are in, and more improtantly exactly what you are downloading.\n\nA lot of upcoming bands provide free downloads of their music to get their name circulating.\n\nWhat is almost certainly illegal is providing the music so that people can download it from you, when you do not own the copyright to the music.

NEVER! LIMEWIRE IS ILLEGAL... KINDA.\n\nLime wire is not an illegal service, but using it (MOST OF THE TIME IS). When you buy a CD is says the norm copyright and everything, if you'd look into LimeWire, you'll find that getting anything wiht a copyright on the CD it came from is illegal.\nTHEREFORE, ANYTHING PEOPLE GOT FROM CDS TO ADD TO LIMEWIRE AND SHARE WITH OTHERS IS ILLEGAL. SO, UNLESS IT WAS A FREE DOWNLOAD FROM A BAND'S WEBSITE, WHICH MEANS YOU COULD JUST GO GET IT THERE, ITS ILLEGAL.\n\nPlus, you dont know who is sharing the music you get. Some one could put a populare song on limewire, but hide a virus in it, and millions of people that get it, will have viruses!\n\nIf you are smart you'll resist the temtation.

All downloading of anyhting copyrighted is illegal. If you are not paying for the music/movie/ whatever, then the producer is not making money, therefore YOU get in trouble =(. Any P2P sdharing can be legal, but not if you are downloading copyrighted items, because that is copyright infringement. If you download some neighborhood garage band, then that would be OK, as long as they don't care, but if it is like Britney Spears or something , then yes, it is illegal.

As other users have said, Limewire simply connects computers and allows you to download/share files. This connection is legal. But sharing copyrighted material like new songs/movies/books is illegal. \n\nAccording to copyright laws, the copyright is valid for author's life + 70 years. For music/movies, it is first performance + 70 years. So, if you are sharing such a song/movie, it is perfectly legal. For instance, sharing ebooks of Charles Dickens, Jules Verne and the like is allowed. You can share your own videos(bash party, prom etc) legally.
