Why is limewire free?

Seems too good to be true...free music and movie downloads for my iPod? Is there a catch? If it's not legal, why is it so popular, recommended, and not shut down yet?

I want to get a movie for my iPod that iTunes does not offer in its store. Should I use limewire for this? Will the free basic version allow me to download a movie?

Any advice would be most welcome. Thank you.

    you could

    and then again there is limewire pro which costs money

    and also the fact that limewire gives certain hackers access to your files

    so you better watch out (you better not cry) in case something happens

    i use limewire myself, and others have warned me but nothing has happened

    ...yet

  • no it wont work because in limewire there are no mpg4 files. I think it is legal(if it is) because it is like u having a book and then sharing it with all your neighbors, friends, family. Thats not illegal(i think) so for music its like sharing a song with all u friends family, neighbors.
