Is LimeWire Illegal ?
I just wanted to find out because some of my friends told me it is illegal and that I should stop downloading songs from it .

Answer

Limewire itself is completely legal. However most of the content avaliable to download is illegal because its copyrighted. So if you are downloading music, then thats illegal. However if the files you download are completely legal though I dont know of any copyrightfree stuff on LimeWire then you are in the clear.

Is limewire free and legal?
just asking?

Answer

It is free and the program itself is legal. Sharing copyrighted material without the owners permission is illegal. Filesharing programs themselves are never illegal. They can, like so many other things, be used for illegal purposes. If you decide to use it for illegal purposes, it will first warn you that what you are doing may be illegal, but you can choose to continue at your own discretion.
