As Ty says.

It is not illegal to install and use Limewire to download.

Problem is, it IS illegal to download copyright songs, games etc which make up 99.999% of all shared files available through Limewire.

However, I do know a few people who only use it for downloading new and unsigned bands who want to put their music out there and this is totally legal.

People sharing and downloading copyright files can be traced and there have been some high profile cases where users have been fined 1000's of Dollars.

Also, although Limewire itself does not contain viruses, it is very easy to download infected files and contaminate your own PC if you dont know what you are doing.

He is not kidding, it is illegal to share copyright music, you probably wont get arrested but they can fine you (a lot), if they catch you, they will fine you atleast a couple of thousand dollars...

ty is right.
its also wrong to download songs and things, because the musicians dont get any of the money from it, so its like your taking that money straight out of there pockets.
its unlikely that youll get caught tho (but still possible) because so many people do it now days

it is risky and illegal
but I know people who do it and they dont get in trouble at all
as long as you dont download like 10,000 songs your ok
and also, if you listen to your dad, you wont get in trouble, so keep that in mind too

Its pretty bad cause with one song you get quite a few that can f*ck up your computer.
