if you download music files using limewire, you are infringing on Copyright laws. It is NOT legal, and should not be done. Basically it is not fair to the Artists Rights to earn a living by selling thier CDs or Music online via a Legal Program like Napster or Rhapsody

Limewire is not illegal and wont be against copyright issues. That is Downloading not uploading!!! Downloading something from someone is non-illegal, but sharing it so others can use it is bad. There is an option in Limewire to shut off sharing or uploading the files you have downloaded.ALSOIf your going to use limewire;1) BE CAREFUL OF VIRUSES..... don't DL a music file that is ridiculously small/short/long2) get the free version then go search under apps for limewire pro.... its faster with more connections and u can get it free using limewire........think of the irony.....i use Ares myself. there is no annoying start up remainders and it also has a built in player with a screen like Windows media player. Limewire has built in player but it ****s.....HAVE FUN!!!!!
