Is downloading music from LimeWire illegal?
Downloading music or anything else off limewire is both risky and illegal. Music that is shared is copywrited and most of the time belongs to sombody. Downloading Limewire Pro only gives you faster downloads and better connection and also free updates. I am a Limewire Pro user myself, getting it from sponsered functions. All terms of use are the same Limewire will not be held responsible for your downlading and mistakes. When you download a file always stop sharing it. Some poeple don’t even know what they could be a host to or be sharing.
Of course it is. Downloading music without paying for it is a crime, just like walking into a store, grabbing a CD and walking out without paying for it. It’s copyright infringement. If you get caught, you face a lawsuit, a fine between $750.00 and $150,000.00 per file illegally downloaded, and up to five years in prison. You’ll also have a lawsuit on your record, which will hamper your ability to get credit, loans or mortgages as well as a job (many businesses don’t like employing criminals).
