Default Is LimeWire legal?
Hi everybody

I was wondering if limewire is legal. However, if limewire isn't legal, I was wondering if it is legal if you buy limewire pro. Can someone please e-mail me whether it is legal or not? Just click on the link "the green lime" and click "send a message via email" and reply.

Thanks!

The answer is yes it is legal...But if you download copyright material with it, you are doing something illegal...
Buying Pro is legal...Downloading copyright material with is not legal...

So there you have it Limewire is absolutley 100% legal...But what you choose to do with it may not be....

How could you tell if it is copyrighted material?

If you can buy it in the shops or find it for sale online then chances are it is copyright. Copyright laws vary from country to country. Depends which country you are in. Check your local copyright laws as to whether you may be breaching them.
