No. However, you could get a civil lawsuit filed against you by the RIAA.
Edit: If it is a popularly released song it was copyrighted.

LimeWire is a legal software, but it is illegal for you to use LimeWire to share copyrighted files without permission. Purchasing LimeWire Pro does not constitute a license for obtaining or distributing unauthorized files. When you download LimeWire software from www.limewire.com, you agree to refrain from using LimeWire for the purpose of copyright infringement.

As others have said, the software is legal. Using it to obtain copyrighted file is illegal. If you don't know if a file is copyrighted, assume it is. You will be correct far more often then wrong.

No, however you'll do unlawful matters with it. Take your auto, for illustration. You can force the auto legally, however you'll additionally hit peds and move on a rampage. Same car, used another way. Same for limewire.

Its not illegal, but be careful what you download. Music or movies can lead to big trouble if you get caught.
