Limewire Database and or IP Address Tracking?

dudekwl · #1 (**permalink**) May 29th, 2007

I am new to the Limewire community, Hi all... Does Limewire or any other server or source keep track of IP addresses of users and what they have downloaded? Is there a locally installed database on the users system that contains any information about downloads?

The reason I ask is I have a friend that works in local law enforcement and he told me that an acquaintance of ours is getting sued for downloading copyrighted music. He said he is being sued for $4000 and that he used Limewire to download the music. He was originally being sued for a larger amount, but his lawyer got the amount decreased. He said the lowest they would go would be $4000. How do I protect myself from being sued?

I tried searching the forum before I posted but didn't find any relevant posts. Any and all information will be appreciated!

Thanks
