Yes it is legal because it has the licence and this license is orginal ive checked and it depends on the how he/she uses it.

Using Limewire, Morpheus or any other P2P file sharing program such as Kaaza or Bearshare, to download any copyrighted music, movies, software etc. in illegal in the USA.
The software itself is legal. What most people use the software for is not. Think of a gun. Owning a gun is legal, shooting people with it is not.
It is very rare, but people do get sued and fined for using these P2P programs. Such as this girl here:

Also, many of the files that are downloaded using these programs are bundled with viruses, trojans, spyware, and adware. Always scan everything you download using any P2P program with your anti-virus and anti-spyware software before you use then.
