If you download music off Limewire but do not share it could you still get into trouble or be sued?

Answer

Yes, I believe the authorities still have the right to sue you because you have illegally downloaded(copied) music which goes against the copyright laws. Though, the good news is that authorites seem to only be trying to get hold of the people that have gigs and gigs of songs on their computers not the average joe with only a few.

Legally though, I would still recommened you use services such as iTunes to get music legally.

Hope this is helpful
