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 not illegal if you download stuff like documents that people made but it is illegal if you download copyrighted stuff like music and movies.

It is not illegal, but you can use it illegally. Use Limewire to only download songs rather than expensive softwares and Video...
