YOU'RE ALL WRONG! it's not illegal, buddy. it's only illegal if you share files, you silly people!! oh my god..
you download a song from someone -- then THEY'RE liable. however, if you don't let other people download from you (you can switch the settings to not share files) then it's fine.
i have been using limewire for many years now and it's never done anything to my computer. don't download stupid files -- & before a file is completely finished preview it to make sure it is real. e.g., if it's a song, play it to make sure you can hear it.
you can always delete the files you download from limewire too by going to my computer.
it has saved me thousands of dollars. you can use iTunes if you want but you'll only be wasting money.
EDIT:
that's not your problem =) & it doesn't matter. as long as other people don't download from you, it's not your problem to deal with, sweetie.

Limewire is crap and crashed my computer...twice. I would recommend just using iTunes like you're supposed to =]

Limewire itself isn't illegal. Download copyrighted stuff is (in the US).
Limewire itself doesn't cause viruses. Being stupid and downloading viruses do.

Limewire IS illegal. I used to use it. Like literally 3 weeks ago. But it gave my laptop a VERY bad virus. I tried everything but I just couldn't get rid of it. It was horrible. So we had to erase everything on my computer, and reload vista onto it. Limewire, gives you free music, but I really wouldn't recommend using it.

It hasn't done anything wrong to my laptop.
It's made it a little slower, but adding anything will make your computer slower, just get more RAM.
& It is, but most people do it anyway.

ok,limewire IS legal,but burning cd's off it illegal. Here is how limewire works. People upload music on limewire. After you upload something,all of the music on your computer gets uploaded. So if someone uploads a song on limewire and that person has a virus on there computer,the song they uploaded will contain that virus and if you saved that song your computer will get viruses. I hope this is making since 2 u!!!! I have a laptop and i have limewire on it and i have never got a virus from it,so i think you will be ok!! =) I hope i helped and please leave feedback!!
