Be patient
You could've used the forum search to find your own answer

When you first start downloading, a box will pop up asking you whether you want to download files without a license. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to download copyrighted material. Most of what you'll find on LW is copyrighted. If you choose to answer 'no' to the license question (& not download files without a license) then most of what you find in your searches won't download.

If you want to change your answer in the license box, check out the link below.

Okay,thanks, but i dont get something. all my search results are always unlicensed...for example i searched ****** songs and got 1500 results, none had licenses. I tried downloading one,the box came up, i said download anyway and it always says "need more sources"

Most of your search results will be unlicensed, if you're looking for music or movies. Most music & movies are copyrighted.

Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources. There are fake files all over the network. They'll sit connecting for ages, then get stuck needing sources forever. Try using the All Types search, search for artist or album rather than song title. Go for a file with 10 sources or less.

There's a lot more info & tips in these 2 threads.
