Limewire in its self is a perfectly legal program. You may notice that before you download it, you tick a box saying you agree not to use the program to exploit copywrited songs. This protects the people that make limewire. There is no law against people sharing files, just against people hosting copywrited material. It is illegal to download a copywrited song, but not to use limewire, so dont expect to get arrested if you have the program. These music lawyers have bigger fish to fry: the guys who have "open folders" on their computer allowing people to download copywrited material. Besides, if we want more of this music in the future, then the best way to go about it is to buy the album so the aritst and producer can make another one, and want to. BE FAIR!!!!

Yes and No: Yes - it is quick and easy, and it's also free. No - it's usually illegal, because songs that are shared via Limewire are almost always in breach of copyright (which is the owner's property). Please refer to other questions regarding Limewire for more detailed information.
Do you have to share your files when using LimeWire?
No, you can select not to share your files with other users. Go to your library, right click on the files you don't want to share, and select "Stop Sharing File." But if everyone in limewire wont share files, gnutella community dies, and limewire would be useless, as there will be NO files to download because nobody shares. Think about this: you want to download, so means you expected others to share, yet you refused to share yourself. So selfish!

Are downloaded LimeWire files compatible with PlaysForSure equipment?
LimeWire is a file sharing network, Shhhhhhh! It doesnt have "limewire files" those files were created with other programs on another persons computer. When you download a file make sure you know exactly what you are going to get, or your PC will end up in the hospital. To answer your question... yes, but not all "limewire files" are what they are labeled as.
What are the copyright on limewire?
Limewire itself was released under a GNU General Public License, a "copyleft" style license used for free software distribution. Materials passing through Limewire may or may not be protected by their own copyrights or other licenses.

Is LimeWire harmful to your computer?
LIMEWIRE, itself will NOT harm your computer. The kind of files you download can. Many of these files contain viruses, spyware, and other computer corrupting nasties. P2P programs are not harmful to your computer, but if you download the wrong file you can be infected.
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.
