I am currently studying Music: Business, and one of our subjects is copyright. As you could imagine this area is very, very dense and there are a lot of topics to cover. The short answer is: No... Any downloading of any part of a published work (i.e. recorded song) is an infringement, and is punishable by law. This is a huge topic of debate in the music industry at the moment, because it makes a criminal of nearly every teenager in the developed world. There are arguments for disregarding copyright, and arguments against, but as it stands in 2009, downloading protected works is illegal

Violation of copyright laws may subject one to substantial money damages. Copyright owners have sued thousands of people for infringement of copyright over peer-to-peer networks. (See links below)

Limewire and file-sharing services are legal. You can download music for free from the service but you should not download copyright protected music, as that is illegal.
Does LimeWire have the artists' permission?
They don't. Limewire is a "Peer-To-Peer" (aka Person to Person / P2P) file sharing program. It is the responibilty of the users of the program to get the copyright holders permission to have the songs on there (In a lot of cases it is the label, not the artist that has the copyright). Most of the users do not get permission to legally put the songs on there. That means that it is illegal to download music and such from there. I would recommend you avoid it. There are sites that legally sell music for 15 cents a song. It's worth it to be legal. == == No. However they do not need to as they do not distribute any files themselves. They simply make and distribute software that allows other to distribute files.
