You can't get in trouble for running LimeWire. You can get in trouble for sharing copyrighted music.
Depending on where you live, copyright laws may differ. What is copyrighted in one country can be public domain in another.

In some countries the download is also illegal.

Limewire is NOT illegal.
Downloading in my opinion, is not illegal.

Filesharing and uploading are techically illegal. This is what 99% of all the RIAA lawsuits have been about.

Never heard bigger bullshit... you are living in the past 60 years ago... have you ever been here?

the USA is actually kicking your rights in the ***, nobody is asking about "individualism". The USA sued hundreds/thousands of people for sharing illegal files, actually I didn´t hear that anybody is sued here.

I don´t want to mention the anti terror laws, maybe you know how freedom is spelled but you are loosing every day more of it.

I repeat:

Perhaps you should look at your law...

U.S.A laws, , never seen such a retarded system of justice, except maybe in China (not true but you get the idea) In USA money = winning cases which is not the what happens in more evolved countries such as Germany, France, Canada (Québec) etc... Some of you United Statians should see the world a little more, not only on CNN in stupid wars.

But you are not all like that, have a good day to the open Americans.
