I really like Limewire, I'm actually an avid user of it. If I want to download a music file I use Limewire always. you should get limewire too. It's a good peer to peer software if you have to download mp3, movies, videos or documents. Here you can find a good place where to download Limewire: http://bit.ly/1lOKj7y
Limewire is a safe and reliable pogram but like all peer to peer program you have to be careful of what you are downloading from it. You always have to be cautious about what you download.
Don't use torrents/downloads from other sites, they might be backdoored.

That depends upon your point of view. Most if not all download clients are illegal, due to nature of what there used for ie downloading music and movies, actually owning or downloading a client is not illegal, so the answer to your question is no the free version of limewire is not illegal, however what you choose to download once you have it may very well be illegal.

LimeWire itself isn't unlawful, yet once you employ it to acquire copyrighted information for unfastened (this incorporates song, pictures, movies or perhaps records) which you're effectively stealing from the proprietors and that's prohibited. that's inspite of regardless of united states of america you're in; the regulation is an identical throughout. in case you share issues that have a licence on LimeWire than it incredibly is high-quality, simply by fact the owner has given you permission to acquire the report. or you're doing something unlawful. it remains unlawful in case you're utilising the pro version of LimeWire. not one of the artists/copyright holders get any of that money, in basic terms the LimeWire company. desire that clears issues up.

Limewire in itself is not illegal. But when you start to download copyright material then thats a different matter

It's not illegal to download and use Limewire aslong as you don't abuse copyright. If you use it to download music or movies, then it is illegal.

Don't know.
It is possibly illegal - but will contain a host of viruses and trojans. Posssibly. Make sure your anti-virus is up to date before going anywhere near this program.

no i dont think so. you can download it from ligit websites like download.com etc. there is an option to pay for limewire on the free version so i think if it was illegal, they probably wouldnt offer you an upgrade. :)
