Is LimeWire Illegal?
Answers:
It is up in the air from what I hear. I know it's legal in The Netherlands, but it's gone through courts here many times.
The software itself is not illegal. What is illegal is using it to share music. Heh!
file sharing isnt illegal, just sharing the items like music is illegal.
in a way yes, but also in a way no
Yes because its music sharing which isnt technically allowed
No because its P2P which means its one person giving it to another, not using it as his own
Id go with Yes though... seems illegal
I asked the same question and the concensus was it is illegal. Keep it off your PC as you can get steep fines if music co. choose to prosecute you.
No, the softare is not illegal, it's what people use it for that makes thyere actions illegal. Downloading copyrighted material that is not given away for free is what people do. Most music on there is illegal. So people saying downloading music is illegal is actually wrong, but you generally do want to look at it that way.
