Yes, it's illegal to download anything copyrighted without paying for a "usage" license on the item.
Now for the mentoring:
On peer to peer (P2P) software.. it's nearly impossible to tell what you're downloading to begin with (things are mislabeled to be misleading, etc)
Your best bet is to go to a pay site and download them there.. it's like $0.40 per song in most cases and you won't end up in legal trouble for doing something you may not have meant to do.
Plus you won't end up with decayed bandwidth (constantly downloading from your hard drive by other limewire folks) and the viruses and spyware that go along with subscribing.

Yep. If you do not own the cd you cannot dl the music legally.
