-- Posted by xkristinaax at 3:15 am on July 12, 2008 I was just downloading songs off Limewire earlier, but I just thought about this. Is Limewire illegal? I would already assume so since people are downloading free music without the legal rights to do so. But is there a way they could trace the downloads and you get in trouble? -- Posted by ang42490424 at 3:15 am on July 12, 2008 I have never thought of that -- Posted by HXC at 3:15 am on July 12, 2008 dur dah dur. answer: yes. answer 2: you fail. -- Posted by Wakeupcall at 3:16 am on July 12, 2008 Yes. It's not very legal. But people do it anyway. XD -- Posted by xkristinaax at 3:17 am on July 12, 2008 Quote: from HXC at 3:15 am on July 12, 2008 dur dah dur. answer: yes. answer 2: you fail.

Well I'm sorry for whatever is making you not be in the best mood.

That's true. I'm sure they started out all enthusiastic, "WE'RE GONNA GET THESE GUYS" and after they see how many people are doing it, they're like, "screw it." haha. -- Posted by HXC at 3:27 am on July 12, 2008 Quote: from xkristinaax at 3:23 am on July 12, 2008 Well I'm sorry for whatever is making you not be in the best mood. Feel better thank you. I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now. hugs and kisses.   -- Posted by Alextherockerchick at 3:29 am on July 12, 2008 Well, I used to use it. But something's going on (I don't know the details) but my dad made me delete it because there are these hackers who can get into any file you have open while using limewire. Something like that. Anyway just buy your music, limewire is risky. Most importantly, respect the musicians. They work hard and make a living by music and when people steal that from them it is unfair. :) -- Posted by Alextherockerchick at 3:32 am on July 12, 2008 Oh and as for the legal stuff, the worst that could happen was the people who own the copyrighted material would fine you. But the chances of that are SUPER thin because countless people use it. -- Posted by xkristinaax at 3:37 am on July 12, 2008 Quote: from HXC at 3:27 am on July 12, 2008 Quote: from xkristinaax at 3:23 am on July 12, 2008  Well I'm sorry for whatever is making you not be in the best mood.

Downloading files that you do not have the right to use or have is illeagle. You can be traced but the chances are small, but people to get caught. -- Posted by HXC at 5:51 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 kljelwfedgtrewqertgjyrefrfhredfhewg -- Posted by xkristinaax at 7:12 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from HXC at 5:51 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 kljelwfedgtrewqertgjyrefrfhredfhewg Eh? -- Posted by Roger Wabbit at 5:15 am on Aug. 29, 2008 Limewire isnt illegal. Its simply a file sharing problem / peer-to-peer network. It allows users to share files either legal or not. It is the users who are sharing the files such as music and movies that are the ones who are breaking the law
