Is it or is it not legal to share on Limwire...in other words, with all this talk on the news about people being prosecuted, do I need to be worrying about being taken to court if I download some songs. I did pay for this program, does that make is legal or not?

The software itself is legal (but I don't think it's because you paid for it).
The illegal aspect of file sharing depends highly on what you're sharing/downloading.

Remember that the answer to your question is entirely dependent on what you do...
And, also, the answer depends on the country in which you reside.
