Can you get arrested for using limewire? What is it EXACTLY & how do you use it? Thanks (link)

Sigh, horay for bad answers....
Okay. Limewire is a program, which has three primary functions: you can search for files, download files, and share files.
Searching for files returns a list of files other users are sharing, and you can then download the files from them. If you share a file, then when a user searches for that file they can download it from you.
If you download a file which is copyright (such as most music, movies, and books), both you and the person you downloaded it from have broken the law. Same if someone downloads a copyright file from you. You do not have to sell anything to anybody.
'Individuals who reproduce, distribute copies, or receive copies of works other than their own without the consent of the owners, may be [read: are] in violation of copyright infringement.'
(paraphrased for readability)
