Question Legal prosecution for image downloads and Lime Wire Existence

folks, just a couple of questions, on two subjects:

1. I found the Image search to be a useful tool to quickly get a match on nearly any title I input. But, I found that some rather innocuous searches turn up images that are pornographic and may not be legal to download. My concern is having law enforcement knock on my door a day later because of using your image search. Perhaps this tool is a good way to get arrested and better not to be used? Not all images are titled accurately so I dont know what will turn up until I preview it while downloading it. Does this site regulate such images or are we on our own?

2. The other day, a legal ruling in the US courts stated that Music companies have a right to sue a company that allows the public to share music, such as LimeWire. Does this mean my lifetime membership with LimeWire is due to expire when you guys get sued and lose? Sorry for being cynical but it seems this is inevitable.

by the way, I enjoy your service a lot and used to have to go out and purchase a CD weekly for $18 to get my music. Now, I can simply download a song I like, burn it on my computer, and it feels good to screew over the music companies since they been doing it to the public for so long.


Regards,
