Go on Limewire, then go on the bar on the top of the program. Click tools, than options. Go to the Downloads section which is the third tab from the left. Uncheck "Share files downloaded from the P2P Network with the P2P network." Then you are done.

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.

Is LimeWire illegal to get?

No. Limewire is actually a corporation. It is called a "peer-to-peer sharing program" which basically means it will grab your files and everyone else's files and post it in the "cloud" for everyone to download. There are so many viruses inside of LimeWire. They hide them in files with different extensions. A file might be labeled as an MP3 (.mp3), but it could be a virus with a true extension of (.exe). Not to mention, it is illegal to download any copyrighted material off of LimeWire. The company has seriously suffered with lawsuit after lawsuit. It is all just a giant mess that I don't recommend getting into. -Hope this Helps!

AnswerThey could still sue you; however, in past instances they normally look for the person uploading. College campuses are the most supervised internet uploads and downloads. Avoid selling burnt copies of music- as little as you may sell it can cost you a lot more than it is worth.
