Don't use bearshare. It uses the fasttrack network, the one _most monitored_ by copyright holders. You're 10x more likely to get caught on the fasttrack network than on the gnutella(limewire) network. Fasttrack also has the most malware, and I'm pretty sure bearshare comes bundled with malware. Razhie is correct about the legality.
Here's my guide on other, safer, P2P networks:

Bareshare, Limewire and all those other peer-to-peers are perfectly legal software but it is not legal to download copywritten material (ie) piracy.
The same way a gun is a legal object and shooting people is illegal. People, not programs, break the laws.
