Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Downloading free songs on limewire is illegal, I really don't recommend it. Limewire has a lot of spyware and it messed up 3 of my family's computers with viruses and spyware. If you're going to use it, at least get some spyware removal programs like AdAware and SpyBot.

downloading limewire is legal, but if you download songs without paying, its illegal. but there are songs on limewire that you can pay for, so thats not illegal, but everyone downloads limewire for free --> which is illegal

The program Limewire is legal.
Big BUT time (!)..
If you don't pay for the songs etc then it's illegal.
Although, most people do it anyway and nothing will happen.
Unless something different like downloading a virus accidently, which is very common with programs like Limewire. So be careful! :)

here let me put this simply:
limewire the program= legal
downloading songs that you didn't pay for= illegal
]
The program is legal but 90% of the stuff you download using it is illegal.

LimeWire is legal, the concern is focused towards what you use it for. If you download music and you haven't paid for it in some way(CD, itunes, etc) then you have officially stolen that song which is.....illegal. Same thing goes for downloading movies, software, games, etc.
Basically, if you're using it to download anything that you would normally have to pay for, then yes, you are breaking the law. People have been taken to court for this so don't be an ass. The use of the program however, is legal in and of itself.
