my opinion: i believe it is illegal and that there is a possible punishment such as 5 years in jail or paying up to 500k. that is what i heard. not sure if it is true.
Using Limewire is not illegal. Limewire is a P2P file sharing utility. If you share files which are copyrighted and without a licence or permission then that is illegal.
Yes, if you get caught using LimeWire you can get in lots of trouble. LimeWire says that it isn't illegal but it's not true. :(
At the top of the LimeWire screen, click on the word "Help" and then on "Using LimeWire". ANSWER: IT'S ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LImeWire is illegal to use in all states.
You can, but you shouldn't. It's illegal.
It is not illegal for anyone to use Limewire. It is simply illegal to download copyrighted files on Limewire, and the only people who may be charged for this is the original downloader. When other Limewire users download the existing file, it is simply called "file sharing," and it is most definetly not illegal. Soooo....no, no one has been prosecuted for using Limewire-just for downloading coyrighted files on to Limewire. If you aren't copyrighting anything, you have not broken the law, and have simply participated in file sharing.
Limewire is not illegal. Limewire is a perfectly legal P2P agent. Downloading certain files may be illegal if they are copyrighted or you do not have permission.
Yes it is. (But lots of us do it anyway)
No. However sharing copyrighted material through Limewire is illegal.
no
I knew a guy who got sued $3,000 for using limewire
LimeWire is a legal file-sharing program. Using it to share or download copyrighted files such as music, is illegal and violates the LimeWire Terms of Service.
