I heard Limewire is illegal but that was someone on a message board but I don't believe them. A lot of people use Limewire and it's a free way to get music you want to listen to. I know iTunes isn't free as they don't have many free songs and you have to pay for the most of the songs you want on iTunes. The better choice is Limewire as you whatever songs you want.

Limewire itself isn't illegal, but obtaining copyrighted material via Limewire is illegal. There is a free version of Limewire and a premium version. The free version has worked just fine for me.

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, but if you get caught downloading copywritten music that is.
Not to mention that there are folks putting up virus disguised as MP3's. So be very careful on what you download.
