This thread covered the subject from various points of view recently.
Sharing copyrighted files on a p2p network is not exactly legal

Limewire is a perfectly legal application . ... like a fast car, but it is possible, as with the car, to use it illegally.
I speak as the parent who was put on to this by a son who now uses Limewire less than i do
I hope this answers your question reasonably well.
