LimeWire is one of the most famous and free java peer to peer file sharing software client that we know.Limewire supports Windows, Mac and Linux and thousands of people from around the globe share their files and download softwares, movies and especially songs over this P2P software.In the past Limewire has had strong criticism for it is generally allowed to share songs of recently released movies, and other paid softwares that are not be distributed as they are copyrighted.

There has always been a question whether Limewire is legal or not?The answer is pretty much straight forward.

Limewire comes in two forms , one the basic version and other the paid Lime Wire pro version which gives faster downloads and additional support.People get access to movies that are still running on the theaters and just released a week before in the theaters.Still worse is the story for the songs of the recently released movies.The very day the audio songs of a movie are released, you get them to download in these P2P clients which is never going to please the movie makers and the album producers.Limewire is just a file sharing P2P client.It is meant for file sharing between peer computers.If Limewire is illegal, so are the latest versions of yahoo messenger and GTalk as you can also transfer songs via them.

Lime wire is completely legal as it is just a file sharing P2P client, but all that we do with Limewire may not be termed legal.Downloading copyrighted material over Limewire for personal use is also illegal and you could be sued for doing that.Yes, The Owner of Digital point forums, Shawn Hogan was sued for downloading the Movie “Meet The Forkers” via a similar file sharing client.So, the next time you are downloading using LimeWire, you will definitely remember me, or at least my blog.I think i have made an impact here.
