Southpaw4vr, According to stats, there are Millions of people that use Limewire at any given time. No one said using any P2P App is for the Faint of Heart. Sure there's a level of risk, but driving to work everyday is also a little risky.

If Paranoia out weighs the benifit, then this might be something that is not suited for you. Do a little research and a lot of reading to determine if this is something you want to dive into.

There are also perfectly legal downloads that people use everyday. Anything with a Creative Commons License is Legal to D/L and I'm sure there are others.
Hope this Helps.
