Is it legal to download music from Bearshare?

No, Bearshare is much like Limewire. The program itself is not illegal. It is what people do with it that is. If you are downloading copyrighted / licensed music, but are not legally obtaining the license to use it yourself, it is illegal. The same goes for uploading. If you are uploading music or video that you do not own rights to, it is also illegal.

Is downloading copyrighted music while you are a LimeWire pro user illegal?

NO. LimeWire Pro means you are paying for the media that you download. So that means it is not illegal. This is because you are technically BUYING the media that you want at home instead of going to the store. If you have NOT paid for LimeWire, however, then it IS illegal. You are stealing the media. Downloading media from LimeWire for free is the same thing as robbing a store's CD's.

Is LimeWire illegial?

Limewire Downloads are Illegal - 99.9% of the timeDownloading music or anything else off limewire is both risky and illegal. Music that is shared is copyrighted and most of the time belongs to somebody. Downloading Limewire Pro only gives you faster downloads and better connection and also free updates. I am a Limewire Pro user myself, getting it from sponsored functions. All terms of use are the same Limewire will not be held responsible for your downlading and mistakes. When you download a file always stop sharing it. Some people don't even know what they could be a host to or be sharing.Downloading from Limewire isn't illegal (though this may vary from country to country), however downloading illegal music from Limewire is illegal.Limewire is fine if you have full permissions to share the music/videos etc.. However this isn't always the case. And that's when the problems start.As well as this, people who create virus's, spyware etc know that if you download the latest Madonna song, its illegal. So they will hide their malware inside the latest Madonna song, and now your less likely to complain when your machine gets infected, because you shouldn't have being downloading the "song" in the first place.It is only illegal if you make copies of the downloaded songs.


If you buy a song from iTunes and then upload the same song from LimeWire so you have the freedom to put your paid-for-song on a non-iTunes owned MP3 player is that illegal?

No it is not illegal, because you already paid for the song. But if you have uploaded it to Limewire and other people can then download it then yes it is illegal. I would suggest finding the song on your hard drive and using a file conveter and convert to MP3 and put that on your MP3, leaving iTunes AAC version in the folder that it was in.


Is mymojo legal?

Yes, on their website it says that it is legal. (I didn't write tht last answer but i don't know myself, but i'd like to point out, in response to that last answer, just becasue it says it is legal on the website does not mean it is legal. limewire says the same thing and limewire has viruses and is illegal.)
