A few of my friends have shown Limewire to me, and I'm yet to understand the legality of it. With other programs, its costs money to download stuff. With Limewire its entirely free. Any know, and care to explain how its free? Or maybe I misunderstand this whole thing, I dunno  |

Free software gotton off of Limewire is legal. Software you are supposed to BUY which you can get for free on Limewire is ILLEGAL. Same goes for music.  |

limewire itself is free, but the PRO version of it is like, 20 bucks or something.
downloading copyrighted material with it is illegal, though.

Limewire is LEGAL.
Downloading copyrighted content without consent of the original owner is ILLEGAL. This is also known as downloading software, music, movies, etc.

Any know, and care to explain how its free? Or maybe I misunderstand this whole thing, I dunno Limewire is a legitimate programe. All it allows you to do is transfer files between two computers (msn messenger has a similar feature) but how that programme is used can determine weather it's legal or not - Matthew |

Well, technically, it is all legal. Downloading copyrighted stuff is legal, it doesn't matter if it is from a website or a program like limewire. However, offering copyrighted material is illegal. That's what is so stupid about the law.

Downloading stuff for free is illegal, however, Limewire does allow one to actually buy songs and similar off it (which is entirely legal). The software itself however is entirely legal. Same goes for any torrent software or similar. Sharing or similarly abusing the copyrighted material is illegal and is not to be discussed here.  |
