the program itself is not illegal, but many of the things you can get are illegal..that side of things won't be discussed here i'm afraid

oo ok thanks

Yeah but why would they make the software legal (Which is made for downloading stuff)but make the downloading illegal?

Whats the point in having the software if downloading the things of it is illegal?

I think they should ban the software realy.

Not all things you download are illegal, only copyrighted ones are, for example, movie trailers are not illegal, you can download them without worrying.

Limewire and P2P downloading per se is not illegal, there are numerous non-copyrighted files you can download, freeware, program trials, movie trailers, home movies, etc. They're fine. It would be a shame to abandon a whole technology just because of some of the uses people exploit. It'd be like saying to ban cars because people can be run over with them.

Unfortunately the sites that employ P2P technology never make a distinction between that which is legal, and that which is not. That's the problem.
