I'M JUST GONNA COPY-PASTE WHAT IT SAYS ON Limewire'S OWN WEBSITE, WHEN GOING THERE.
PRETTY MUCH IT WAS BECAUSE ALOT OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL (SONGS ETC.) WAS DISTRIBUTED WITH LIMEWIRE. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ILLEGAL.
(sorry for what looks like caps-lock - the font got weird when I copy-pasted the below text....)
