what the point?

so this is my first time on lime wire and i really must know whats the
point of it all? Am I to go down to the store and buy an Ipod simply
so I can use this service? I'm also new to this idea of bloggin (real compunerd I am). I just don't get it, maybe I just don't get a rush
from talking to complete stangers, is there more to it than that and if so please somebody explain to me in detail what I am missing. I signed on
to lime wire to see clips and videos and I can't figure anything out. How do I get these q's answered?

me too all i want to do is download songs on my sons ipod

(particularly check How to find music link, as the same principle applies to video also.)
