Is using LimeWire Pro Illegal

Answer 1

Using Limewire, or any P2P program, is not illegal unless you use it to download copyrighted material such as music, movies, games, etc. For example: If you use Limewire to download a song such as Master of Puppets by Metallica, that is illegal. But if you use it to transfer or share a non-copyrighted file it is perfectly legal. That does not mean however, that all songs, movies, etc. are copyrighted and illegal to download. Some things that used to be copyrighted have either had their copyright expire or have aged so much that they fall in to what is called the Public Domain. Anything in the Public Domain is available for use by the public.
