A highly discussed topic. When using LW, you are not downloading from them, you are downloading & uploading files to others like yourself. P2P = person to person.
Legality depends on your country's laws on the topic.

Well Mike, I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other, but being Parnoid is no way to live life.
This is for sure not for the faint of heart but there are Multi Millions of people Sharing Files.
If you take the time to ReSearch what you want to accomplish and How to do it, I think you'll find that the success rate is quite high.
Also Search for how often people actually get Busted and I think you'll find some very interesting Information.
Good Luck Either Way.
