Having and useing LimeWire is in no way, shape, or form illegal. Where the line is drawn is what you choose to download with LW. Downloading copyrighted material without paying for it is illegal. You can get caught, you can go to jail, you can be sued for every cent you posess, but most importantly you can get away with it. In the end it's up to you; you can choose to download copyrighted material and risk the consequences. However if you choose to do so, I would advise that you educate yourself a little about computer/internet security. Download PeerGuardian from MethLabs.org, make sure you have a good (and properly configured) firewall, and get a program to hide your IP address (Steganos, Anonymizer 2004, ect.). Right now taking simple security precautions can keep the RIAA away from you. Whatever you choose to do it is your own choice and neither LimeWire LLC, the owners of these forums, or myself will take any responsibility for your actions. Good luck.
