Limewire , like Kaaza and Napster (in the old days), is a legal site. Where problems arise is when files are downloaded without a license. If you notice, whenever you download a file from Limewire, you are told if the file has a license or not. If it doesn't, you're asked if you still wish to proceed. If you proceed without the license, then you run into a problem and RIAA can legally sue you.

Yes it is....well it's sharing files....but it depends what you download..like if you download limewire pro from limewire thats illegal...but since its 'sharing' it's not illegal...though it might be....but since people get limewire pro it makes it pretty much legal.

Limewire in of itself is not illegal because it is simply a program for sharing files.
Now download or share copyrighted movies, and music, that is illegal

NO, it is Considered a "File Sharing Site" ....But anything you download, for my best advice would be too keep for personal use ONLY! If you planned too make money from it ....Then it be called PIRACY simply means stealing for means of profit!
Hope that clears up your Confusion?

The software is NOT illegal, but there is a damn good amount of copyrighted material on the network, which IS illegal.
So basically, no, as long as you don't use it for the wrong things.

limewire is illegal because my dad knows the owner of limewire and he had to go to jail it is illegal because you can send people music and they wouldnt have to pay for it

yes. It also downloads Spyware into your computer or viruses. If you have downloaded it delete it and run a virus check immediately.
