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.
Limewire itself is legal, but downloading music off it for free is not.
