That would probably be copyright infringement by copying files over a peer-to-peer network. It is very easy to share files over such a peer-to-peer network (such as Limewire, Kazaa, eMule, etc.), so you can easily share, or upload, both legal and illegal files, i.e. files which you are, and which you are not, allowed to copy according to copyright laws.
If you buy songs legally from the LimeWire store then it will cost money. If you are caught downloading songs illegally without paying for them then it could cost you a lot of money. To quote LimeWire: What Happens If I Commit Copyright Infringement? 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. (See links below)

Copyright infringement is primarily a civil offense however there are options to prosecute criminally in the case of "willful and deliberate" acts of infringement. Ignorance of the existence of copyright is not a viable defense to infringement. If an author is convicted of copyright infringement the publisher can be held liable for contributory infringement if it can be shown that they had knowledge of the infringement prior to publication. If, by a preponderance of the evidence, infringement can be shown then yes a damages award to the copyright holder can be granted.
You should report copyright infringement to the website or platform where the infringement is taking place, or to the copyright owner directly. You can also report it to the U.S. Copyright Office or seek legal advice for further action.
