Can I get in trouble for simply DOWNLOADING music with Limewire.. or just for SHARING

I have heard something about some site where you pay a monthly fee and you can download as many songs as you like, does anyone know what this site is?

yeah but u can converte AAC to mp3

Also if you use msn music or other similar services you can't play the tracks that you download on ipods, so if you are going to buy an mp3 player it is probably best to decide which one first, then chose where to download your music from, as it would be very annoying to build up a collection of music downloaded from itunes to then go and buy an mp3 player which won't play it

Why hasn't limewire gotten sued yet, Kazaa did, and they are basically the same thing.
