Answer 1

Limewire isnt legal but you dont really have much of a choice. I use limewire cuz if i used iTunes i would b flat out broke if i had to pay $1 for each song.  

Answer 2

who cares, legal or not, all the people do the same,, just enjoy the music.. lets go...

Answer 3

It's not legal in the first place, since downloading any copyrighted song that you do not pay a royalty fee on is illegal and is stealing, unless the artist has given his/her permission to do so.

But it's not that anybody will find out, really. However, it's possible that the RIAA will set up fake servers in order to bait people into downloading copyrighted music. Explained at http://chronicle.com/free/2008/05/2821n....

Use Limewire at your own risk.

Answer 4

Who cares if it's legal? I have several thousand mp3s from Limewire on my iPod.

Answer 5
