I was trying to download a zip file called Fish Tycoon, and I have never used Limewire before, but this message comes up:
"LIMEWIRE IS UNABLE TO FIND A LICENSE FOR THIS FILE. DOWNLOAD ANYWAY?
PLEASE NOTE: LIMEWIRE CANNOT MONITOR OR CONTROL THE CONTENT OF THE GNUTELLA NETWORK. PLEASE RESPECT YOUR LOCAL COPYRIGHT LAWS"
What does all of the mean? Can I download stuff or not? Is this stuff safe to download??

Yes, you can download it, but it is risky. You could get a virus from the file, or other such occurances.
Personally, I would quit Limewire. It killed my computer, and we had to completely wipe the hard drive clean and lost everything. Limewire just kills it's memory.

That is just a precaution so they don't get sued and shut down. The company that makes "Fish Tycoon" is not getting any money for their game and if you download that game and your computer gets a million and a half viruses you nor the company can sue them because of that message
"LIMEWIRE IS UNABLE TO FIND A LICENSE FOR THIS FILE. DOWNLOAD ANYWAY?
PLEASE NOTE: LIMEWIRE CANNOT MONITOR OR CONTROL THE CONTENT OF THE GNUTELLA NETWORK. PLEASE RESPECT YOUR LOCAL COPYRIGHT LAWS"
Just legal stuff.

Hey I used to have limewire and here is a very good trick. Search on limewire the Limewire pro they are selling for 20 dollars. Its all tha way free!!! Better results and faster downloads and stuff. Go search it in the programs area. Of course the music and videos are safe to download, but do not download games because alot of them have viruses. But be careful about faulty videos and music. Once I tried to download the Benchwarmers and the picture sucked so badly. I recommend you to get things they show on tv because alot of people have TIVO. But I deleted limewire and started to get my music off of itunes because I had like 40 viruses and had to fight the viruses. Instead go to wal-mart or somethin' and get a 15 dollars itunes card, its worth it. Or go to a friends house and steal their music. Also, you won't get sued for buying off itunes. Also, do not go downloading like crazy from limewire or you could probably get sued. I got hecka scared when I heard someguy got sued for like 3 billion dollars for using limewire. I deleted limewire so fast, that my computer had whiplash

Your mom has a factor, limewire is illegitimate, and there is often a small threat you need to get found out and fined. although, the probabilities are high narrow, so it is truly as much as you. To get the songs on your ipod as quickly as you receive them you go into the shared folder in limewire and you click and drag the songs into itunes

You can download it, but it's not legal. If you choose to download it, run anti virus on it before opening it.

No!!! If something happens to your computer like a virus they are not liable. If you think it will wk go for it. But i wouldn't... It's probably has to do w/ they copyright where you can't.
