    Your right.
    It was on the BBC website. Im looking for it now.
    Heres link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4541788.stm scroll down for do CTRL then F, type in limewire and it will find it for you.

    If you cba it says;
    The survey by IpsosMORI found 77% of people who download music had used an illegal website at least once. And 51% said they used only illegal download services.

    It also revealed that illegal file-sharing networks such as Limewire and Kazaa were still more popular than legal download sites.


    Thats part of the whole thing.

    The program is perfectly legal if you don't share copyrighted material.

    My guess is that they are being sued because they were using Limewire to download copyrighted music, I am sure it's legal to have Limewire...

    You can download songs, but not copyrighted ones, there are many songs that are legal to download.

    Ok,
    read this thread. Limewire is included in it.
