Is Limewire legal and are its users free fro prosecution when they use Limewire ans described on the Limewires website which is wwwlimewirecom?

Answer 1

Limewire is not illegal, to start. Using the P2P Network to download files that violate copyright laws, however, is. On their site, Limwire states that they are not liable for the content of the site. They also state that by downloading a file the user is assuming all risks associated, including the possibility of downloading a virus, and copyright violations that could lead to prosecution. Long story short, although Limewire in and of itself is perfectly legal, the music you can download from Limewire is all illegal and you should never do it.
