Yes, if you are using Limewire to infringe on someones' copyright by distributing protected material.
Although criminal prosecutions for copyright infringement are rare (it's usually a civil case), there are provisions in copyright law that allow for jail terms as long as 10 years for "willful and deliberate" infringement.
