How can you use LimeWire so it's not illegal?

Limewire itself is not illegal. What is illegal is the downloading and uploading of copyrighted material. If you download your favorite copyrighted song instead of buying it, it is considered an illegal act. If you download a song that is offered to the public free of charge (and allowed by the license), it would not be illegal.A common misconception is that if you buy Limewire Pro, you can download songs for free. This is not true.There is no way to legally download copyrighted songs for free that are not offered to you from the recording label.You are perfectly welcome to download anything offered to the public free of charge within the bounds of the license.For example, it would be illegal to download Microsoft Office (which is copyrighted), but it would not be illegal to download OpenOffice.org (which is open source).
