Limewire is legal, using it to download copyrighted material (practically all the content on the network) without the permission of the copyright holder is not.

The program no but in a sense yes because all the people want it for is to download things and i advise you not to use it with itunes up you will be caught because my friend downloaded 1 song and left limewire running while he opened up itunes and every time u do while its loading it searches you comp for a song downloader thing just like limewire and if it does find it it searches it to see how much you have downloaded and that happened and itunes warned my friend if it catches him next time like that and sees more songs on limewire it will alert the cops or whatever im not exactly sure but my friend called and warned me not to use it anymore hope this helps

Limewire is just assisting people in doing illegal things.

Limewire is a pier to pier network and like all P2P's it is legal. But, downloading material that is copy written is "not" legal. So if you are sharing private data across the network, then all is fine. If you are sharing or downloading anything with a copyrite , then you are setting yourself up for trouble.

Limewire itself isnt illegal, but putting copyrighted anything (music, software, whatever) IS. As is downloading it.

Its only illegal if you do illegal things with it, such as download music that you do not legally own. This all depends on your country's set of law's, and if you are allowed to share music with other people or not. Contact your lawyer for more information on pertaining laws to your area.

The software itself isn't illegal. Using it to share copyrighted content is.

ILLEGAL -- and probably one of the worst programs you could use. (Viruses, etc...)
Limewire will screw you.
-There is a version you can pay for however.

i dont think the program itself is illegal, but most people use it for illegal purposes (downloading copyrighted stuff)

Lots of people will get tracked down and get huge bills for copyright breeches.
