Does limewire still work/exist? Well, the title says it all, just looking for a legitimate, free and legal site to download music from. Thanks for any responses.
First, The Chica is completely wrong. In 2006 a massive lawsuit was filed against Limewire by a group of music and movie companies, asking for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages because Limewire facilitates illegal downloading. The case is still in court, but all indications are that Limewire will lose and be forced into bankruptcy. You can read some reports at and and
When it comes to downloading legally, it all comes down to copyright. If a file is under copyright, then it's illegal to download for free unless the copyright holder is giving it away. If a band offers free downloads of their music, that's legal. What's illeglimewire legal music downloadal is someone else buying their CD, ripping and sharing it.
The music at archive.org and jamendo.com is not under copyright, so it's legal to download for free. However, anything that offers free downloads of commercial music is illegal.
no Limewire isn't legal but there aren't really any free websites where you can get music/videos for free, the cheapest price i know that you can get songs for is from free to around 9 cents. The sites name where you can get the songs for that price is www.downloads.nl you will have to give them some information and sign up on their website. Hope this helps!
Downloading copyrighted music is illegal, whether you use Limewire or some other filesharing tool to do so.
If you want free, legal music downloads, go to the free part of the Amazon MP3 store:
Or golimewire legal music download to Jamendo:
Yes, downloading from limewire is illegal. Download legal safe music from mp3obsession.com. It's not free, but very cheap at 9 cents a song.
Legitimate site to download music that you have to buy at the stores? Does this sounds legitimate to you? All these file sharing programs are illegal ......but is seems only on papers.
Downloading from Limewire in itself isn't illegal. Downloading illegal content from it is,
Limewire is free and legal. It was pronounced legal in 2006 when a group of people paid almost 200 million dollars for all users to download music and also upload music, but thats what i heard.
I use limewire and it tells you at the bottom of the screen that it is completly legal.And yes it still exists.
Hope i was of help to you.
