Limewire Basic and copying music
 

Hello,

I currently have the free download of Limewire. Am I allow to copy songs onto my hard drive and also copy these downloads to my MP3 player. Or, do I have to upgrade to the purchased program of Limewire to make these downloads? I want to make sure that I am using the program correctly.

:confused:

Your LW downloads are automatically saved to your hard drive:) In LW, go tools > options > saving & you'll see the path of your saved folder.

If you go to LW's library, click on Saved Files, highlight a file & then click Explore (bottom left of the screen)... your saved folder will open for you. If you want to add downloads to your mp3 player, add them from this saved folder;)

Downloading music from Limewire
 

So, if I download the music from the free version of Limewire, there are no issues with not paying for the song to download or any copyright issues. I want to make sure that I am not doing something illegal.

Thanks for any reply given.

If you're downloading Copyrighted Material, weather it be with the Free Basic Version or the Paid Pro Version is Illegal either way.

I believe there are a few Countries that may not have the Strict Laws that we face, but there few and far between.

Since your from the USA, Yea, Illegal :(

Does that mean if I download music "illegally" then I will be arrested?

Bush just signed yet another bill to get the govt to do the RIAA's & MPAA's dirty work.
