most people say limewire doesn't give you viruses. But as you install it, you have to accept there terms of agreement. In there TOA, you have to install third party software. The third party software is basically the social security number to your computer. You wouldn't want everyone to know your social security number, as you don't want everyone to have access to you computer. Plus not all the files shared in limewire are virus free. I have seen many a good computer destroyed by the beast. Limewire is illegal as most p2p programs are. Be careful what you use. As for getting a dvd on your ipod, you need a program that converts your video files into either an, avi., mov., or an mp4. The software is legal, although ripping dvds to your computer is not. If it is a video you took yourself, just find a file converter and you should be good to go.

I dont think converting DVD's to iPod are legal, but it is possible with a commercially available program like "DVD to iPod"
Dont bother using Limewire-- and yes irresponsible downloading with Limewire can make your computer prone to viruses

limewire is not illegal unless you put it onto your ipod or burn cd's with it...so in your case yes it is. I have had lime wire for a while and have not had any problems with viruses or anything.
As for the DVD it is illegal if it is copyrighted and you illegally downloaded it off the internet or something. Other than that I think it is fine.

http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ - its legal and virus free, i assure you. just virus scan any files just to make sure, before downloading
limewire is illegal, but you shouldnt have any serious virus problems if you invest in decent spyware.
hope this helps.
