Is mp3download.net a scam? Unfortunately I am new to all of this. After purchasing an MP3 player and being directed to them (I have slept since then and can't remember how exactly, but I do remember seeing that it came highly recommended by CNN, MSN, etc). At any rate, I subscribed to it. Then was directed to download one of the softwares and I chose Limewire. I became concerned after my son told me that people were getting into trouble for downloading using these programs. Please forgive my ignorance on this, but I thought that by buying the 34.95 membership I was okay. Now I think not and am worried that I did something illegal and will get into trouble.
