Since i installed Limewire w/c uses peer-to-peer connection from other users, i get free MP3 music, is this legal? How can the music industry survive, if people dont buy CD's anymore?

That's the point. It isn't legal. You must own the copyright or have permission from the holder to distribute, or in this case copy, the music. If you just shared files that were yours to distribute and copy, then Limewire is completely free, but copying free music is not legal.

Of course these materials you have downloaded from peer to
pear network is not legal....there is always a heavy loss to music companies for this type downloads.May a copy protection
can solve the problem.
