it's illegal whether or not you're gonna using for personal use. wouldn't suggest using it, b/c every time you do, the artist you're downloading loses money. someone has to pay for the music, and when you download over buying a CD or using iTunes or another music buying site, they get docked money. A certain percentage of the money used to buy the music is sent to the artist/record company, while the rest goes to the store/site. I can't remember the specific percentage, but it's around 40-60% of the revenue from the music. Again, I'd highly suggest not using limewire, or other illegal sites.

Lets Put it this way limewire is the best well known music downloader there is, and if it were illegal the government or someone would have put a stop to it by now, and limewires like 5 years old.

The Basic Edition of Limewire is free. When you download it, there's a box to check, saying you aren't going to do anything illegal.

Peer to Peer sharing is illegal.
Software like Bearshare,Limewire etc are good to use but be careful.

If you download for free, then the artists don't get paid. If the artist's don't get paid, it's considered stealing. Stealing is illegal.

it is alwase illegal to download stuff from any sharing program, if you want to do it any ways you should not share any files because that is what people look for when they try to bust you for downloading stuff.
