What are your thoughts on LimeWire?

Have you downloaded it?

Is it safe?

Is it legal?

    The programme itself is legal

    The use of it to download music ISN'T legal

    It can cause problems (like most things...) you are safest if you make sure everything in your library is set to "not sharing files"...

    Limewire sucks! Kazaa sucks even worse. Loaded with spyware and adware. Go to http://www.allofmp3.com./ You can buy music there for 7 to 11 cents per song (when you change the bit rate to 128... or so I've heard). You can get full CDs for around a dollar, thats also just what I heard...) I dont know how legal it is, but then again, I dont know how legal Limewire is either.

    Source(s): Random information shared by random people... or so I've heard. :)

    it's safe, don't know if it's legal. i can listen to any songs i want to download, but it won't let me share any of my music after i save it to my computer.

    I have helped several of my friends safely remove lime wire since it is a persisten bug loaded with ad ware and spy ware. Read my link!

    The best thing about it is it's free and u get songs that's not even on the CD. yeah it's illegal but free. i downloaded it and it put viruses on my computer so i deleted it.

    i don't know if it's legal or not. i know lots of people who use it and love it. it's convenient and stupid to pay a dollar for every song you'd like to have.

    I have it - its great, i get to download any song I like
