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.

because you are not paying for the music and in turn them taking that money and paying the usic companys for the music you are buying. What you are paying for is the tech support they claim they offer and the program you are using. Kinda dumn but everyone needs to make a living i guess

You're paying to encourage further development of the program to steal music, not for the music - for the program.

It's not, but a lot of these download companies got caught in a limbo situation
