Limewire?

Limewire or file sharing is not illegal, its only when you share copyrighted material that's when its illegal. File sharing is just a method to a mean. Bit torrent is another file sharing protocol and it was first developed with the intention of sharing Linux distributions. Saying that BT or limewire is illegal is like saying the road with which I transport my stolen goods is illegal.
 
On limewire it really depends what your share, if you share Linux distributions or your own essays, I do not see a problem, but the fact it most people on limewire, most as in ALL of the people on limeware :P shares copyrighted material. That is illegal, but looking at the authorities around the world in seems they have numbers on their side, if everything was sent to jail for sharing copyrighted material then the prisons will be filled to the bream, it is just not possible. So they target the big fish instead of little end users, they target the people who cracks and circumvent the encryption in the first place.
