They don't. Limewire is a "Peer-To-Peer" (aka Person to Person / P2P) file sharing program. It is the responibilty of the users of the program to get the copyright holders permission to have the songs on there (In a lot of cases it is the label, not the artist that has the copyright). Most of the users do not get permission to legally put the songs on there. That means that it is illegal to download music and such from there. I would recommend you avoid it. There are sites that legally sell music for 15 cents a song. It's worth it to be legal. == == No. However they do not need to as they do not distribute any files themselves. They simply make and distribute software that allows other to distribute files.

Downloading free music from Limewire is like working for a job where they promise to give you your wage, but they end up not giving it to you. Frostwire is also illegal. This is why iTunes and Amazon are actually safe because you BUY the songs from the artists, not steal from them. (P.S., I use iTunes.)
