If I am downloading a high ammount of SONG FILES ONLY - mp3's to be exact, is there a limit on how many i should download per day or does it not matter so long as i dont' burn them until a week or so later ?

Please respond ASAP

Try searching the forums for the word "Legal". Then be prepaired to do some reading.

In short, if you break the law you take your chances .

Right, but what im asking is can i download a high ammount of music and NOT get caught? I have heard of people getting caught for doing such a thing.

What's the recommended usage per day or per week with dling music only?

I live in Dayton Ohio. 2 of my 4 local TV stations just reported about several people from our area being sued for downloading music. One of these people was using Limewire. This person is being sued by the National Association of Recording Artists for 70,000 !! She has only used Limewire and has downloaded a little over 6,000 songs. Needless to say, she is devastated! The reporter said this is happening more and more everyday and that the Recording Artists are generally setteling out of court for 3 to 4 thousand dollars. Do any of us have that kind of money lying around. This woman thought she was "protected" from any type of legal action because she had paid 18 dollars to limewire for their "pro" version. Not so. Beware !
