No but if you download copyrighted material it may be illegal depending on where you live.

Unhappy copyright

How can you tell if it's copyrighted?

If it doesn't have a license and is or has been for sale to the public or most TV shows it is most likely copyrighted. If you think about it it is pretty easy to figure out.

Default legal!

Have discovered that if I lived in Canada I could download anything - legally - so I think that emigration calls! :-)

Yes - it is pretty easy to work out, but some of the sites are so confusing - so basically everyone risks being fined for misuse -

Where I am I don't have to worry about emigrating. Uploading & downloading is fine according to present laws here. Recent laws created in regards to copyright even seem to support this ... great move by the government!

That is great - I guess that i thought that is what i subscribing to - expensive lesson - as I can't contact the site - only by phone and as i live in the Uk that isn't really an option. Nevef mind (I do) but it could have been worse.
I am now trying to delete the whole package but it's left bits behind - any ideas how I can get shut of it all together?

Batty ur post concerns me, (some of the sites) (expensive lesson) there is only 1 site to dl limewire from its www.limewire.com anywhere else and youve been scammed, basic is free pro costs 18.88 for 6 months not a very expensive lesson. If uv been scammed as it appears to me then its no wonder its left bits behind no doubt the adware that was in it. Also if uv uninstalled it and are having pop ups saying its still there u need to make a trip to http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk/ to get that virus sorted im afraid.
