If sharing songs on LimeWire is illegal why does iTunes come with a special preset folder for LimeWire tunes?

limewire cannot be illegal, because its sharing music and the people arent making profit off of it. so and anyway. Its not illegal unless you get caught. xD


If you uninstalled LimeWire will you still get caught if you have music that you downloaded?

The people that get caught are the ones that have thousands of songs on their computers and they share them with the world. These people cause the record companies to lose money. They get caught by the record companies tracing the ip addresses of the culprits that are doing the sharing. That is all the proof they need. Having songs on your computer and having Limewire installed will not get you into trouble. If they have logs of your ip address participating in illegal sharing then you can get into trouble. So, no...you don't have to delete your music library. If you were going to get in trouble for illegally sharing music, they would already have all the proof they need.

How do you know what LimeWire files are safe?

You don't. Limewire is a program that allows the sharing of files - usually illegally. Some people post videos, programs etc on limewire with the intention of spreading malicious content, like viruses, spyware and many more. If you have an antivirus program/firewall, this does offer some protection, but not total. Again, files shared through Limewire are generally illegal.

Has anyone been prosecuted for using LimeWire?

It is not illegal for anyone to use Limewire. It is simply illegal to download copyrighted files on Limewire, and the only people who may be charged for this is the original downloader. When other Limewire users download the existing file, it is simply called "file sharing," and it is most definetly not illegal. Soooo....no, no one has been prosecuted for using Limewire-just for downloading coyrighted files on to Limewire. If you aren't copyrighting anything, you have not broken the law, and have simply participated in file sharing.

How do you put your own music into LimeWire for people to download?

Limewire should automatically do this for you, if not then you can go to the settings on top of the limewire page and select the folder that you want share. There should be an indcator on the bottom of the left hand corner of the page that tells you if you are sharing files and how many.


If LimeWire is so illegal then why is it still on the internet?

Because limewire is a peer to peer server, meaning that their is no central thing that operates it somewhere, to stop limewire the police would have to go to every computer in the world that has limewire on it and manually delete it off of every computer. As long as two people have limewire and are sharing files with each other it will keep going.


On LimeWire if you dont allow people to download your copyrighted files but you download theres will you still get caught?

You could, but the chances are unlikely.
