Limewire isnt illegal because its 'File sharing' and there is no law against sharing, and it depends what you do with it that makes it illegal like example if your downloading movies that are out at the cinema and making dvds and selling them then yes it is illegal. the governments fight it all the time and the artists. i say if the artists and actors really love there jobs 'It would be about the movies and music' they are just in it for the millions of dollars they rack up.
