is limewire legal?

It is both legal and illegal. If you are the owner/creator and thus copyright of a piece of work and then share it over Limewire with the explicit intent to get that spread your content, then it is legal. The same would be said if you were sharing someting that is meant to be shared because that is what the copyright owner wishes. If you use it to share/obtain media that you are not the copyright owner of, then it is infringing upon another's copyright, which is to say it is breaking the law. Most likely, your friends aren't following the letter of the law. It has been my experience that most users of those Peer to Peer networks aren't very good on the following the law bit. (Granted some are, but most aren't.)

there legal to have its just the copy rite laws you brake when down loadeing.ive used them for many years now with no problems

yes it is legal

yes, some people have downloaded softwares or music in which they paid for it and then put it in share folder like what limewires do to share it or trade with other files...

yes.. i think!!

I guess they are but it doesn't stop people from using it.

So there, LimeWire is technically legal. Whenever you don't pay for some download, with the exception of PC game demos, the free download files are illegal.

lime wires legal the material makes it ilegal

limewire is a gud software for downloading all stuff, but it also gets data frm som of da illegal site whch make ppl think tht its purely illegal, but anywayz it does not matter to me as long as I get gud quality music n gud stuff for free of cost

the software is legal but what you download can be illegal. Think of it this way, cars arent illegal but it is illegal to drive them 100+ mph, its what you do with it that can make it illegal

Legal or not, a freebie is still a freebie, as long as I do not go out and try to make money on my own out of it!!

Does it really matter? What are they gonna do aboot it? Send the net cops round to lock u up or impose massive fines?

if you do find free legal music,please let us know.

yes it is. But there are better p2p programs better than it, like Kazaa

yes they are

Actually... They aren't. Only those places where you can download music by paying fees are considered legal.

limewire better be....my ipod is filled by limewire

well, I think limewire is legal. But I think the main concern is that..they offer FREE music &movie downloads to users.

yes they are legal but you can get virus,trojans from there so use safely

Many downloadable things in limewire are viruses
