Well ... legality of downlding copyright music varies depending on country & state. eg: AFAIK I believe in Canada it's ok so long as you don't share it. In some other countries it's not illegal unless you bootleg it & sell it (such as where I am.) But that all also depends upon whether the local authorities take notice. And the question is how can they find out unless they're actively seeking out people who do this. Are they going to bust a person who has downlded 50 copyright songs ... or would they prefer to seek those with multiple thousands so it would have a little more validity in court. Legality has been discussed numerous times on this forum. You should use the search button & type in something like legal, legality, riaa, etc. Here's an example There was an excellent thread on the topic but it disappeared. But there's more around.
What the proposal is, is to ... well you can read more about it here RIAA going postal, affecting LW? ie: in the meantime, you take your own risks if you decide to downld copyright material. LimeWire does not condone downlding of copyright material. That's up to the individual user. And when you went to the LW site to downld the program, what did it ask you before you were able to downld it. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml / http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...loadfree.shtml
