Limewire and Bearshare are both legal, its just that as soon as you have downloaded any copywritten material, then you've broken the law. If in the small chance you do use it for downloading uncopywritten material, then it is 100% legal for use. But more 99% of the downloads in those programs are illegal (no exaduration).

It relies upon on what you purchased. In about ninety 9% of the circumstances, that is unlawful because everybody is downloading song, video games, copyrighted pictures, etc. very few everybody is utilizing Limewire and Bearshare to replace potential aspect shows. Limewire and Bearshare are P2P, so if one ingredient is unlawful to receive on Limewire, it is also unlawful to receive on Bearshare.

Limewire is illegal, I don't know about Bearshare. If it allows you to share music for free, it probably is illegal.

Limewire, the software, is perfectly legal. BUT, using Limewire to download music IS illegal. Suck, huh?

All forms of downloading and file sharing are illegal off any of these sites. The only legal way about it is through itunes or a similar, pay per use, site.
