Is Downloading Music On Limewire Illegal?

Is Downloading Music On Limewire Illegal?

Limewire is NOT illegal. However the illegal part is downloading and uploading copyrighted files if you do not own the copyright or have the copyright owners permission.

Sharing music and software for free without paying for it has been illegal for years.

- It is also illegal when you download music/videos/pictures or any other files and sell them.

- It is illegal to download music/movies with Limewire if you did not pay for them.

When you use Limewire and have one of these copyrighted works in your shared folder, you are illegally 'distributing' that copyrighted work. The people made it an 'illegal' place to be. The things you do on Limewire are illegal.

A note:

People DO get caught stealing copyrighted 'stuff' using programs such as Limewire and face huge fines.

All p2p filesharing is illegal. If you don't pay for your music somehow you are getting it illegally.

So what are the chances of getting caught?

By Anonymous Rai, at 12:39 PM  

The chances of getting cuaght are pretty low... the people who get caught are usually the ones who download a ton of files AND even share a ton of them with others.

and here are some suggestions.

1) If you download movies take the movie out of your shared folder so that nobody downloads the file from you.

2) Move the files out of the 'my downloads files' (extra security)

3) Do not go to a big university and download files from there.

So the more files you download (per week/day/month) and more you share the higher the risk.
