No, you can select not to share your files with other users. Go to your library, right click on the files you don't want to share, and select "Stop Sharing File."

But if everyone in Limewire wont share files, gnutella community dies, and limewire would be useless, as there will be NO files to download because nobody shares.

Think about this: you want to download, so means you expected others to share, yet you refused to share yourself. So selfish!

What can you do that is illegal on sites like LimeWire?

You can't do anything illegal directly on the Limewire website. You would have to download their program, Limewire. This program will let you (among many other things) download copywritten files illegally and share them with other people. If you don't share copywritten files, you can't get caught. And even if you do share, your chances of winning the lottery are better than your chances of getting caught. -DJ Craig
