Limewire (LW) is free! If you wish to use the LW Pro version then you pay $18.88 which gives you 6 months of free updates & customer support (& you can keep using your program after 6 mths.) I think your mum got LW thru the wrong people!

This is the only place you should get LW from!: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
