If people are using Limewire to download songs illegally, then there is a chance they may get arrested if caught. To stay away from trouble, it is best to purchase music.
Many people use LimeWire. I would expect it to be over 1 billion people using LimeWire. (This is just an estimate...no real facts were put into this)
People dont need to be using limewire because the share the music!
No, not unless you break copyright laws, or download child pornography. It is probably best not to use it, because files can be mis labeled resulting in you downloading items you dont want.But the Limewire software itself is perfectly legal, and so is all of Limewire's premium content.
Yes. Limewire downloaders are still getting busted for theft of intellectual property.
At the top of the LimeWire screen, click on the word "Help" and then on "Using LimeWire". ANSWER: IT'S ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OF COARSE!Cops just don't sit around they take action to illegal things. If you know someone who has downloaded Limewire to their computer make sure they uninstall and delete it. For the safety of you and your frinds DONT INSTALL IT!
Yes, if your going to buy it from itunes, why download it off limewire first.
Yes, if you get caught using LimeWire you can get in lots of trouble. LimeWire says that it isn't illegal but it's not true. :(
Using Limewire is not illegal. Limewire is a P2P file sharing utility. If you share files which are copyrighted and without a licence or permission then that is illegal.
No, you would most likely not be arrested and just be fined for the amount of songs you downloaded e.g. if you downloaded about 1000 songs for Limewire you would be charged for those 1000 songs but if you downloaded 5 songs they wouldn't come after you basically the more songs you download illegally the more of a risk they would come after you and the more money you would be charged but Limewire itself is not perfectly legal except people who use Limewire need a license to be able to use it and ofcourse nobody is going to purchase a License when they can download it illegally so really it just depends on how many songs you downloaded but no you wouldn't get arrested.
It is not illegal for anyone to use Limewire. It is simply illegal to download copyrighted files on Limewire, and the only people who may be charged for this is the original downloader. When other Limewire users download the existing file, it is simply called "file sharing," and it is most definetly not illegal. Soooo....no, no one has been prosecuted for using Limewire-just for downloading coyrighted files on to Limewire. If you aren't copyrighting anything, you have not broken the law, and have simply participated in file sharing.
Yes. Its very easy to track somebody through limewire.
