Question!? HELP!!
 

Hey people,

right i have had limewire for a few days now. I really love it! its a great way to get songs i want that i have not heard for AGES or ones i just wanna hear :D

But my dad is getting worried because im downloading which is essentially illigal...but limewire is sharing files isnt it? is it different? :confused:

what im basically asking is limewire legal to have? i need to know or my dad wont let me go on it till he finds out if it is legal or not!

Please help because im very confused now, i dont know what to tell my dad..and i want to use limewire! :(

This thread covered the subject from various points of view recently.

Sharing copyrighted files on a p2p network is not exactly legal

however.......................

Limewire is a perfectly legal application . ... like a fast car, but it is possible, as with the car, to use it illegally.

I speak as the parent who was put on to this by a son who now uses Limewire less than i do:):)

I hope this answers your question reasonably well.
