Limewire as such not illegal use of limewire to downloadf copyrighted music, video, books etc is illegal but for the love of god would nobody use limewire have have had to reformat 7 computers of my friends now because of viruses it is a rubbish program that is open to every virus, spyware etc. there is no point building up a collection with limewire will will just lose it to a virus, if you must download either do it legally from www.itune.com google video www.tv.com etc. or if you must go illegally download use bit torrent and tusted sites like mininova.org. these are managed and is there is a problem with a file it is removed striaght away. this is illegal and i in no way condon this action but please don't use limewire it is really bad exspecially if you don't know what you are doing. you have been warned and i am sure you will ignore me but trust me it is more hassle than it is worth do you really want to reformate your computer and loss all your work

no it is not illegal like some other idiots are saying. as long as you dont download a liscensed song or other type of licensed media you are fine. also dont sell the songs you download. o and by the way limewire is a huge establishment and it has been around for quite a while. dont you think the cops or whoever comes after you if you infringe would have destroyed and sued the site by now?!
