downloading mp3's legally
 

Is limewire a truly legal site for downloading and sharing mp3 files? Or is there some sort of copyright catch. I dont want to get sued by the fcc or something for downloading and sharing mp3 files.

Limewire doesn't have a site...
Limewire is just a p2p program that connects you to other computers just like yours...
So if you download or share copyrighted material it is illegal to do so...

Read through this for a better understanding about p2p...

Well here is an easy way to know if it's illegal. If you want to download songs you can find on a CD at the store, it's illegal. If you want to download songs from someone that's not selling CD's at a store, or is not signed to a label, and/or with the band's permission, it's legal. If you want to buy some songs, here are some sites.

Amazon
Napster
iTunes

Amazon sells digital downloads now.
