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.

You can download virtually any software from limewire, illegally. What your actually doing is downloading a copy of the software purchased by someone else. It will probably work, will slow down your system, and cannot be registered with adobe.

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.

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...

Technically its illegal.  But, ive read many different things.  I've read that its not illegal to download it, but its illegal to burn copies of it.  Ive also read that its legal to download and burn, but you can't give anyone the music otherwise it becomes illegal.  And I know for a fact its illegal to download and sell.  But, if you paid for limewire, I think they become responsible, unless your using a new version where you have to say you won't download copyrighted stuff.  You still can, but it voids them from the law.  \n\nId say that its illegal to download, but I can't get a straight answer from any laws or legal sites.  They all say different things.\n\nEDIT: You can download the songs if you pay for them individually which usually costs 50 cents on up per song.

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 long as you have decent virus protection, you should have no problem. It might occasionally find a virus, but if it does, it will cancel the download. I've used it thousands of times and only found about 3 viruses. A lot of people say limewire is full of viruses, but I don't have any problems with it.
