If downloading music from LimeWire was illegal why is it on the web?
First, LimeWire is not illegal to download. It`s just p2p program.Second, all of the songs are not stored in a main host, its shared between the users. If you are downloading song, you are not downloading from the limewire server, you are doing it from users that accepted to share that song.For that, the LimeWire software is legal but it is illegal for the individuals to share copyrighted material such as music, videos and software. LimeWire should only be used for sharing the material that you have created yourself as stated in the LimeWire user agreement....The Program, like all peer-to-peer ("P2P") programs, is capable of being used to share materials that the copyright owner has not authorized be shared.

limewire is illegal no matter what. However, in most countries it is much more difficult to monitor and prosecute users who do not share their files. It would be wise to turn off the sharing mode in limewire.
Does LimeWire have really new songs?
Limewire does not have any songs. Limewire is software (See links below) that connects your computer to other peoples computers (and they are connected to yours) so that files can be shared between computers. The only music available using Limewire is that which has come from other people. If they are not authorised to distribute the music then you and they are acting illegally and are liable to prosecution if caught with copies of the music. As you do not know who or where you are connecting with there is a high chance of your computer becoming infected with a virus when connecting to such a network. Limewire's licence agreement states: It is unlawful to use the Program to infringe the intellectual property rights of others, or to share, distribute or download others' protected, proprietary and/or confidential information without authorization, or to share, distribute or download unlawful pornographic materials (collectively "Illegal Materials"). By using the Program you agree and represent that you will not use the Program to share, distribute or download Illegal Materials.
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
