Limewire has a free version, but you can pay about 18 bucks and get a "turbo-charged" version. Downloading copyrighted material is illegal whichever version you use, but I have it on good authority that the pay version is about the same for downloading songs. The problem is that you can set how much bandwidth you allocate to uploads and downloads. Naturally, everybody wants to set it to 100 percent for downloads and nothing for uploads, so you end up trying to download a 700MB movie at 2MB per second. You don't have to be a genius to see that this would take you about 4 days.

Has anyone been prosecuted for using LimeWire?
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.
