Limewire??...is it safe??? and is it ok?

Question

i hav a question about limewire.

i here ppl say it is iligel but like all my friends and like cuz hav it but my dad wont let me download it!

so is it ok to download or sould i just buy my song on itunes and stuff?

Answer 1

Limewire is illegal, but many many people use it anyways. I know that few people get caught and have to pay up to a $2,000 fine for every song they have stolen. I would say be safe, and buy your music.  

Answer 2

I download from it but don't share the files I download.  Also make sure you have virus protection

Answer 3

yes i use it all the time and i get songs on my ipod for free cuz of it but sometimes it wont show the exact words like sometime it will show links to naughty stuff but it will be obvious it is the link it isnt disguised and u get awesome results

Answer 4

its ok and safe...dont worry!

Answer 5

Okay well first of all i would say not to disobey your dad cause limewire is illigal and you can possibly get caught if you download movies or more than 100 songs per day.....

what i do is download the songs and save them in a different a folder than the one limewire uses.

but overall limewire is really good, you can get almost any song you want for free and it downloads pretty quickly for most computers , it saves you thousands of dollars that you would spend at itunes and it does not cause viruses if you enable the scanners (they let you know if limewire detects a virus in what downloading) or have a viruse protection installed on your computer.....i recomend it if you can talk your dad into letting you download it lol

Answer 6

its bad....dont use it.

fine! beLIEve others....

Answer 7

yes for a while  it works..  than its ****

Answer 8

yeah its illegal

but who cares

you wont get caught.

Answer 9

no it is bad.well i had limewire at one point but then our computer started getting these pop ups n dirty websites n the circuit city guy came out n said limewire was his best guess for makin the computer act so funny.

Answer 10

nope!

Answer 11

limewire i download atleast 70 songs off it.

then i found zillatube

it is much faster because you don't have to wait for someone to post a song on limewire

you just put a URL and then it saves it on your computer for you

Answer 12

yes it ok to download but don't downloadd the wrong limewire or you may get a virus when downloading

Answer 13

destroyed 2 of my computers.

Answer 14

i have it, never had any problems with it,

its easy to download virus' and things you dont actually want

but its great,

but apparantly a rumor is going around saying that they are tracking down anyone who uses limewire

so you can download it and use it for your own will

or if you get caught then i dont know

make sure that when you download music off there, you scan your computer/laptop/mac etc for viruses

the best virus scanner is Avast! its really useful and has protected me for ages :]

hope this helped, natticakes x

Answer 15

i use it, just dont download over 100 songs a day and you should be fine

and yes it is illegal

Answer 16

its legal but beware of virus thats the only way i get them on my computer and i have a mac!

Answer 17

It is illegal to us but i have used it and been OK but it gave us a virus and crashed our computer so don't use it.

Answer 18

It can be dangerous, when i downloaded it, it contained a virus in it, and a lot of the files on the net contain viruses too. It is better not to risk it, use it at other peoples houses,don't risk your pc.

Answer 19

its ok... a lot of ppl use it (not me)

it would save you thousands of $$$!!!!

Answer 20

yeh been using it for ages. had no problems

Answer 21

itunes cuz u shuld not disobey adults

Answer 22

I wouldn't unless you have a really good computer and your own computer else your dad will find out either finding it or having to fix the viruses form it,

Ask your dad to pay for your songs of itunes if he doesn't want you to have limewire

Answer 23

maye you should listen to pops now i had it i downloaded it free only thing is my friend had to show me which ones to keep some songs have viruses i wouldnt get it..i'd go for something more compatible like yahoo music,windows live music source,rhapsody. napster ect..thats a big NO...!!! to limewire..

Answer 24

I hear its illegal to. Lots of my friends are happy users of lime wire and nothing has happened so it seems safe to me. Just make sure you get the song rated the best because other ones may contain viruses.

Answer 25

no no no its full of bugs worms and trojans plus its not legal! I dont care!!! I would use it however my mate just bought a new pc and put limewire on it! he was a hard core downloader! and after 3 weeks his computer was a rightoff - trojan horse !!!! nobody could do n e thing to get it working again!!! my advise if ya gonna download or just need a few songs go to.... the next address its handy however you cant burn disks it doesnt put it on your pc as all the songs are web based!

hope this helps good luck x
