It is illegal to download any copyrighted music that you did not pay for and legally own yourself.
And, No.
Not everyone does it.
Only Sheep imitate others.
I am Not a crook and I Do not Use Limewire.

I don't have it, but it's def. illegal. If you get any songs for free, it's illegal. (unless you borrow something from your friend). At Limewire you download songs without paying. Downloading illegally is really bad. Just borrow CDs from your friends...

Hey Friend,
First of All...LIMEWIRE is hard spyware...it will demolish your computer system. My humble request NOT TO USE THIS SOFTWARE AT ALL.....
Better to use Bittorrent software or more better buy a affordable CD/DVD.
Dear...Take care of your computer more...It will take care of you in coming days.
Expecting Success...Always.

its a program where file sharing from other peoles computers allows you to download and share music, video's, files, documents, software, and other cool stuff. it is bad for you to share your computers information with other people. it could possibly mess up your computer big. but as long as you don't have any files in your shared music folder then you are fine. once everything is downloaded then move it from that folder it downloads to, into another folder. you'll be fine then. and it is illegal if you don't buy the upgraded version because you are not paying for something that has copyright rights to it.

ILLEGAL free downloads are illegal!!!!!!!!!!!limewire is ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!! listen to the song Don't download this song it tells it all. here i'll pt in the lyrics brb
here are the lyrics:
Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge
To break international copyright law
By downloading MP3s from file-sharing sites
Like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or KaZaA
But deep in your heart you know the guilt would drive you mad
And the shame would leave a permanent scar
'Cause you start out stealing songs and then you're robbing liquor stores
And sellin' crack and runnin' over school kids with your car
So don't download this song
The record store's where you belong
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh, don't download this song
Oh, you don't wanna mess with the R-I-double-A
They'll sue you if you burn that CD-R
It doesn't matter if you're a grandma or a seven year old girl
They'll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are
So don't download this song
Don't go pirating music all day long
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh, don't download this song
Don't take away money from artists just like me
How else can I afford another solid gold Hum-Vee
And diamond-studded swimming pools
These things don't grow on trees
So all I ask is, "Everybody, please..."
Don't donwload this song (Don't do it, no, no)
Even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong (You can just ask him)
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (You really should)
Oh, don't download this song
Don't donwload this song (Oh please, don't you do it)
Or you might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (Remember Tommy)
Go and buy the CD (Right now) like you know that you should (Go out and buy it)
Oh, don't download this song
Don't download this song (No, no, no, no, no, no)
You'll burn in hell before too long (and you'll deserve it)
Go and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know that you should (You cheap *******)
Oh, don't download this song

Technically the program isn't illegal to have but it's illegal to upload the copy written material I believe.
