Question: Whether Limewire is Legal
Answer: Technically the act of using Limewire / Kazaa / Morpheus or any other P2P file sharing system IS PERFECTLY LEGAL.
However, the act of sharing copyrighted music is what the authorities will prosecute for, as you are allowing other users to download something which they should pay for, for free.
The act of downloading music which is being shared by other users, is illegal, however the authorities will prosecute those who are sharing a "significant amount of music" - like drugs they will go after the DEALERS not the USERS.

Limewire is a program used to search files in the internet..but using it to share and sell the copyrighted tracks and videos can be illegal..
if limewire is illegal,why don't the companies ban the website in downloading llimewire and completely block its access to the internet..
it is absolutely legal as long as it is not used in sopyright infringement..

Well over 95% of the files available from LImewire and other P2P sharing software is illegally copied.
I don't believe in stealing. Do you?
If you stole a CD from a store, they would have you arrested.
How is downloading different?
Do you work for free?
Why should anyone else?

enable's all be honest.. we weren't ALL immigrants in some unspecified time interior the destiny. community individuals have been already right here.. African individuals have been compelled over on boats to assist build this united states yet are nonetheless taken care of as 2d classification voters. Illegals get greater advantageous treatement than everyone interior the U. S. because of the fact the human beings interior the bigger firms choose to maintain greater money of their pocket with the aid of hiring human beings at a heavily decrease salary. The natives have been observed as savages besides because of the fact the those that invaded the land did not accept as true with their religious ideals or any way they did something. With that being pronounced, crime has continuously been rewarded. George Washington slaughtered natives with the aid of the 1000's and grew to alter into the 1st President of the u . s . a .. those that are uneducated make themselves experience greater important with the aid of demeaning others and being ignorant. it somewhat is the only way i'm able to sum up why they think of Africans stay in huts. I even have some friends from Africa and that they are residing in some very elite residences. they have come to make humor interior the certainty that human beings could be ignorant approximately their life type and or residing association. Are illegals human? confident. Are they criminals? honestly. If there have been no jobs for them, they does not be so speedy to bypass the borders into the land of milk and honey. they could be deported as we talk and the jobs could get carry of back to the yank voters who're in an insurmountable debt from paying a brilliant quantity of money in direction of greater coaching.

Nope, Limewire is not illegal at all but if you use it to download copyrighted items like music tracks and videos, you are using it for illegal purposes.
Limewire can be used for legal purposes like sharing pictures among friends, getting royalty free music and videos, etc.

It's perfectly legal until you start using it to download copyrighted material, which you'll do the first time you download something.

Nope... just be careful what you look up and download. It's not always what the title says it is!
