How come you cant transfer songs from LimeWire to your ipod?
You need iTunes to transfer anything to your iPod, so I would suggest getting that. I also would not suggest using Limewire because number one, downloading songs from Limewire is illegal and number two, there are MANY viruses on Limewire that can kill your computer.
Is it legal to get music off LimeWire?
It depends. Downloading files over Limewire, by itself, is not a crime in most jurisdictions. However, if the downloaded file is covered by copyright and the copyright holders have not agreed to distribution over Limewire, then it's illegal. If you're referring to the Limewire Store then yes, most likely they have agreements with the copyright holders, and it's legal to BUY from the store. If you mean dowloading content from other users then most likely it's not legal - but it depends on the exact contents of the file. As I recall, Limewire has a disclaimer stating that it is illegal to download music that is not licensed. If you choose to break the law knowingly, then, presumably, you would be liable for any consequences.

How can you use LimeWire so it's not illegal?
Limewire itself is not illegal. What is illegal is the downloading and uploading of copyrighted material. If you download your favorite copyrighted song instead of buying it, it is considered an illegal act. If you download a song that is offered to the public free of charge (and allowed by the license), it would not be illegal.A common misconception is that if you buy Limewire Pro, you can download songs for free. This is not true.There is no way to legally download copyrighted songs for free that are not offered to you from the recording label.You are perfectly welcome to download anything offered to the public free of charge within the bounds of the license.For example, it would be illegal to download Microsoft Office (which is copyrighted), but it would not be illegal to download OpenOffice.org (which is open source).
If LimeWire is so illegal then why is it still on the internet?
Because limewire is a peer to peer server, meaning that their is no central thing that operates it somewhere, to stop limewire the police would have to go to every computer in the world that has limewire on it and manually delete it off of every computer. As long as two people have limewire and are sharing files with each other it will keep going.
Is it illegal to download without a license on LimeWire?
It is not illegal to download stuff that can be legally downloaded. It is illegal to download stuff that is not legally downloadable. If it is something you would normally pay for in a store and you are downloading it for free then it is almost certainly illegal. LimeWire's advice is: "Your activities on peer-to-peer networks such as LimeWire may be monitored by copyright owners. 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."
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.
What can you do that is illegal on sites like LimeWire?
You can't do anything illegal directly on the Limewire website. You would have to download their program, Limewire. This program will let you (among many other things) download copywritten files illegally and share them with other people. If you don't share copywritten files, you can't get caught. And even if you do share, your chances of winning the lottery are better than your chances of getting caught. -DJ Craig
