Yes it is. In buying Limewire, you're giving money to the criminals who steal the music, and you're becoming a criminal, yourself.
I have strong opinions on this.
Limewire is illegal whether you buy it or not. By purchasing a license you are paying for ad-free support and high speed downloads.
Limewire, like Kazaa, Bearshare, and any others out there, are called P2P (peer to peer) clients. The software is designed to search the hard drives of those who use it, and allow people to exchange files with eachother. The RIAA considers this illegal because you do not own the rights to the song, and therefore do not own the rights to copy or exchange it. When you buy a CD or a song legally from a source, you are purchasing a single copy license of that song.
For example: Cindy goes to Target and buys the high school musical soundtrack. She loads the CD into her computer and continues on with life. John opens up limewire and does a search for "breakin free" and because Cindy has limewire, and because she has loaded her HSM CD into her hard drive, John is able to copy it from her. This is the practice that is illegal. Has John bought HMS or is he "stealing" it?
The same applies with DVDs (although its even stricter with DVDs because its a different branch of the government)
I work for Apple Computers so I get this question all the time from iPod users.
It doesn't matter what MP3 player you have. You cannot get good free music legally. Some play different things. Like, Walmart doesn't work on iPods, and iTunes doesn't work on all players, cause they are different types of files. But, anyway, free music is illegal, and so many viruses get transferred from Limewire. I would not use Limewire, cause who knows what else you're getting with the song. I would just use iTunes, or Walmart or something. It's 99 cents. Walmart 88. So, yeah.
ETA- I completly agree with Sparx. I have very strong feeling againt Limewire, also. I just use iTunes.
