LimeWire is how Napster USED To be before Napster started to charge. They are notorious for TONS of undetectable virus'.

The software for LimeWire is not illegal but uploading or downloading copyrighted material is. So, I guess you are all right

From the LimeWire site:

Purchasing LimeWire PRO does not constitute a license for obtaining or distributing unauthorized files.

Limewire is fine as long as you don't download----uh, just about anything.

So it's a legal software that offers illegal benefits that you can't use LOL

I think they just don't want to encourage doing anything that is illegal, especially to a kid's site.

It is very naive to think that the law can not do anything to you because you are 12. That is the farthest thing from the truth. The law doesn't stop because you are a minor. When I get a chance to sit and type more, I will tell you what happened to my cousin for getting busted DLing off of Napster several years ago!
