Limewire question? Please?

Question

Isn't limewire the website or program you download thats free?

I've been told that you can download music for your Ipod as well. True or false?

AND does it come with any viruses?

Answer 1

Downloading Lime wire is totally free. Yes, you can download music for your ipod on there. You cannot directly transfer music to your ipod from lime wire. Once you download a song, you will need to transfer it to itunes. Then you can sync your ipod.

Lime wire is illegal, but there is a very slim chance of being caught. You're basically stealing music, but hey- everyone does. As for virus', there are a lot. You are taking files from other peoples computers. So, if someone has a virus and you download something from them, you will get it. I haven't had any badexperiencess from it, but I know people who have. Good luck :)

Answer 2

True, but it's illegal to download music off it.

Answer 3

I believe that Limewire itself is legal.  Yes, you can download music for your Ipod or other mp3 player, but unless the artist somehow receives payment for the download, it is illegal.  There are sites, such as spiralfrog, which use advertising money to pay the artists, and the songs are completely free.  Downloading free music from Limewire, however, is illegal.  To be frank, I have no idea why they offer it.  It may just be because the government has no control over it, or that Limewire is based in another country.  All I know is that it is illegal to download music if the artists are not getting paid.

Answer 4

LimeWire is a free program download.  It is illegal to download music from it, but lots of people do it (however wrong it may be) and you're pretty safe if you only download a few songs.  It's offered because it is not just for music.  It is a non-specific Peer-2-Peer network.  Any file type is allowed.

Answer 5

Limewire itself does not come with viruses. It is what you download from the gnutella network that may contain virii. To be safe don't download files less than 1000kb in size, and download music only. I would recommend using torrents, since they are the highest quality.  

Answer 6

Limewire is free and yes, you can get a lot of music and transfer the files to your iTUNES library.

Actually downloading Limewire does not come with any viruses, but my friends and I had Limewire and it did cause our computers to run very slowly and to slightly malfunction. Some songs can be fuzzy or just a scam. Downloading off Limewire is also illegal so if someone catches you downloading a file from that program, you could be fined. After I deleted Limewire, my computer ran much more smoothly. I now just buy my music off iTUNES. Hoped this helped. :D

Answer 7

Yes, it's illegal, but you can download music from the program.

Answer 8

Limewire does not come with viruses.

A lot of what you download with limewire may come with viruses.

Also, downloading music with limewire is illegal.

Answer 9

Yes it's free.

True.

Some files do have viruses.  Just make sure you have a good antivirus and it will catch it before it finishes downloading or scan files before listening to them.
