Don't get busted!
People DO get caught stealing "stuff" using P2P filesharing programs such as Limewire, Kazza etc, and face huge fines.
People as young as 12 years old.
"The music industry has turned its big legal guns on Internet music-swappers — including a 12-year-old New York City girl who thought downloading songs was fun."
"Brianna LaHara said she was frightened to learn she was among the hundreds of people sued yesterday by giant music companies in federal courts around the country."
"I got really scared. My stomach is all turning," Brianna said last night at the city Housing Authority apartment where she lives with her mom and her 9-year-old brother."

Limewire is not illegal, just how you use it.
It is good that you uninstalled it.
Limewire is a virus and spyware downloader.
The so called Free Music files you down load all have spyware attached.

ok, think of approximately this: what precisely are you downloading from Limewire (and probably sharing with others in case you're on line)? track, so which you do no longer could purchase it interior the shop? movies or video clips, television and flicks? so which you do no longer could hire them or purchase them? video games? properly, that's unlawful. you're downloading copyrighted tips that human beings pay for and that's owned by somebody else. in the event that they have been giving it away, you won't could pay Limewire nineteen dollars a month to get it; you're able to easily pass to the artist's information superhighway web site and take it whenever you pick for, magnificent? So, in case you're downloading any of the above, you're paying somebody else to help you harm the regulation. I doubt the law enforcement officers are going to come back knocking at your door, yet you're able to correctly known exactl what you're doing.
