Default major crack down on limewire users?

hey will about a month ago our news station NBC, did a little story on major crackdown on limewire users. this REALLY REALLY freaked me out, and then like a week ago my uncle game telling me to STOP using limewire because he said im going to get cought.

I have no idea what to do, should i quit using limewire? if not what should i do to not be one of those people that gets cought, because they charge your $200 for every single song u downloaded of limewire, and my family could NEVER EVER afford that, we are poor...

what do you guys think i should do?

I am sorry that my hint told you nothing, perhaps the following story will help you. This lady obviously did not think about her family before continuing with her activities now her wages could be garnished for the rest of her life.
