Akuma Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Depends. If you use it to download illegal things, it's illegal. If you don't, it's legal. Too bad nothing on LW is legal. edit: moved to offtopic chat, not really to do with computers Edited March 14, 2006 by Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 No, there are legal things on LimeWire. If it has a copyright, it's illegal on LimeWire. (Like American Idiot songs) IF it doesn't have a copyright, it's legal. (Like Mozart songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joonas Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Limewire is made for file sharing so a office worker can send a file to his boss that has some things about a new project on it. Thats the undercover talking and it excuses LimeWire and other P2P (peer to peer) programs totally. The real deal is that LimeWire is mading for guys like us. Downloading and sharing. Mostly downloading. But it isn't LimeWire creator's fault that people do that. He just wants to help companys share .doc files right? Right. So only illegal thing is you when you upload / download these files. LimeWire itself is 100% legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Peer to peer programs are not illegal. Using peer to peer programs for copyright infringement is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
