Ok, well, Limewire ITSELF is legal. It's just a file sharing program. You're suposed to use it to upload files and have your friends download it, that's the whole purpose of a file-sharing client. BUT people started to use it for uploading songs and movies and all that good stuff. The act of downloading it is illigal, not having the program. And record companies only come after people who have 100+ songs downloaded, so just stay under sharing 100 songs and you'll be fine.

I love you,
The Waffler

hey hun, well it may be illegal but i don't hoestly think that it is, though other people have diffrent opinions about like music programs like this. but when you go to download it there is a free and pay version..not why would they give you a choice of free or pay if it was illegal?

yeah i dont think it is.

Hey,

Yeah, Thousands of people are getting like a $70,000 Dollar fine for that. One woman got fined that much and she wasnt even the one that burned the music. Someone in her household had and she didn't know it. Its your choice.

Well....
It's sort of illegal in the sense that you are not paying for the music. But it's the same as getting a burned copy of a cd from a friend, as in no one gets in trouble for it.

It is illegal it's just that no one gets caught. Actually, my friend got fined for using Kazaa and that's basically the same so some people do get caught. The program itself might not be what's illegal; it's the downloading of songs and things like that. Downloading any kind of music from any program is illegal unless you payed for the song.
