No, Limewire is NOT illegal. It is perfectly legal.
It is, however, a hotbed of spyware, virus promulgation, key-logging and phishing. I would stay so far away from that ...

Limewire itself is not illegal. HOWEVER, using it to download copyrighted material (ex. most commerically available music) IS illegal (and very much so).

its not illegal if u pay for it but if u have the free version with free songs its illegal. Also on the free version people can download songs from u if u have it ans it makes ur computer slower.

Yes, but only the FREE songs are. The ones you have to pay $0.99 to download are indeed legal.

I think it's illegal because you get the songs for free, they usually cost $0.99 each.
