iTunes is a service provided by Apple which enables you to find artists, songs, movies, podcasts, and tv shows. iTunes lets you preview songs instead of playing them because if you were able to play the songs whenever you wanted to there would be no point of buying them. That said, iTunes lets those who possibly intend on buying media preview what they may buy.

The Limewire store (and most other legitimate download stores such as Amazon) operate in the same way. If you are downloading music with the limeWire software then the chances are that it is being provided illegally and you are leaving yourself open to prosecution for doing so.

To quote LimeWire's own advice:

Your activities on peer-to-peer networks such as LimeWire may be monitored by copyright owners. Violation of copyright laws may subject one to substantial money damages. Copyright owners have sued thousands of people for infringement of copyright over peer-to-peer networks.
