LimeWire is a perfectly legal peer to peer file sharing application. If you read the site's documentation, LimeWire warns its users not to download copyright protected works. On the site LimeWire states quite clearly that the acceptable usage is to publish and distribute your own original works.
I believe it also warns that some ''users'' of the software upload infected files.
I wouldn't be getting any ideas...people can and have been caught and prosecuted for using filesharing apps to commit copyright infringement by either uploading OR downloading protected Intellectual Property. And it serves them right for doing the wrong thing. I've no sympathy at all for someone who flagrantly violates others' rights
LimeWire is a free peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) client for the Java platform, which uses the Gnutella network to locate files as well as share files. It also has limited BitTorrent support. A freeware version and a purchasable "enhanced" version are available
