Limewire is a file-sharing technology that allows its users to share data with one another. Often it is used to share music, and most often that music is copyrighted. Filesharing copyrighted music is ILLEGAL and should not be done. DO NOT put your backups of your purchased CDs on Limewire. DO NOT try to obtain music through Limewire. As a general precaution, do not even use Limewire; there are too many possibilities of illegal implication.
