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.
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.
You do find information about the peer to peer file sharing client Limewire through their own official site "LimeWire". Limewire is under a court order dated october 26, 2010 to stop distributing the limewire software.
