No. Limewire itself is not illegal. Using it to steal music is.

[^.^]

Limewire is 100% ilegal, the only reason they havn't been shut-down is because they have great loop holes.

Nope. Its legal. Its a file-sharing program, which is completely legal. But people use it to steal music, which is illegal.

I used to use Limewire to download songs illegally but since I got an iPod I have noticed that illegally downloaded music doesnt have very high bitrate which means the sound quality isnt as good as the ones that you can buy for like 79p. So I now use iTunes to legally buy music

Ok, thanks.

So does that mean its ok to have the program but not ok to download the songs ?

So whats the point of having it if you cant download songs? Lmao

You can download other stuff off it, not just music.

But yeah, like other people have said, it's legal to have it, but illegal to download any copyrighted material

[clarissa !!]

its legal to have the program aslong as you don't download copyrighted material.

You can also download all sorts of abandonware, like really old games and such.
