megagoth

Limewire itself is not illegal....
Downloading copyright material is.....

so wot is lime wire then coz i haev downloaded it and i dnt get it can some one tell me

Limewire is p2p software, what it does is it links you to millions of other computers with p2p software all over the world...Now you can download what people choose to share, be it a new and upcomming band that wants to get their music out there or pictures from around the world, they would be classified as non copyright material...But there are people who share copyright material such as movies and music and programs, the list goes on..
What you choose to download is up to you, so the choice is yours and the responsibility is as well....Limewire is not responsible for the decisions you make or what you choose to share or download, it just provides you with a program....
I hope this helps....

so if u download music is but not share it is that illeagal?

It's illegal to download and share any sort of copyright material, but the laws can vary from country to country....

so if i download music but not share it does that make it illegal?

Then you get classified as a freeloader and alot of people get really irate at freeloaders and can block you from uploading from them...

so wot is the point of limewire then

lol...lets put it this way make sure you share something and try to stay under 1000 files and you should be right....
