Every computer in the world (connected to the internet, that is) has a special "number" called an "IP Address" sortof like a phone number, or physical address. When your computer is connected to a p2p program (in this case, Limewire) People you download music from, and also people who download music from you, can see your IP Address. Once they have that address you can go to the internet and pin-point the exact location of the IP Address (your physical address) Thus, finding you, thus considering yourself...."Caught"....so if you don't want to get caught (probably a good thing) then either, 1. Dont download off of limewire 2. Invent a way to block your IP Address.....or 3. ....DONT DOWNLOAD!!! or 4. Go to websites like YouTube and find the song you want, then RECORD it yourself...and then dont put it in a shared folder that other people have access to.
Actually, you a very very very slim chance of ever getting caught if you:
1. create a new folder, and select limewire to share ONLY that folder
2. create a new folder, and select limewire to download ONLY to that folder.
3. throw a bunch of random stuff in the folder to be shared (like make a bunch of word documents with gibberish or something that isn't illegal to share)
It is still illegal to download pirated music, but you likely won't get in trouble. Only people who share the stuff regularly get caught doing anything.

Can you get caught easily for using frostwire mp3rocket or LimeWire?
Not easily, since IP tracking software isn't fool proof, so it isn't that easy to get caught, but if you take enough songs, the trackers will be on your case, and you will get caught in a matter of time. If you just take one or two songs, then there is a less likely chance that you'll get caught, but it still may happen. Just don't use them to avoid getting caught at all.
