Forgive me for being a total novice but I am 89 years old and I have just found limewire today and paid for the pro version.
I thought this thing would be great to download my music.
However I have just started and my friend tells me I should remove this right away as it is illegal to download music and share music in this way.

Can someone please tell me if this is correct? I would only download about 20 records each week probably and they say my Internet Server could ban me from using their site and I could face a ban.
Can someone please tell me where I stand with what I am doing? I cant afford a fine at my age, please help.
