You CAN download MP3s with Limewire, andthere's nothing illegal about it. An MP3 is not by definition in violation of piracy. I think the idea that there are copyrighted MP3s out thereto steal is pretty well known. So much so that it would be fairly tedious to go through and delineate all the illegal things you can do with every program out there. Photoshop can be used to violate copyright too by editing copyrighted photos without permission. Audacity can be used to record music you don't have the rights to. FTP programs can distribute MP3s illegally. So I don't feel it's encouraging peopleto pirate to say what a program does. However, we don't take piracy lightly and if you'll view our video on using LimeWire you'll see that we specifically instruct people on how to find legal video to download from Limewire. So we're trying to do our part. <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Quick_Tips_Legal_file_sharing_with_LimeWire/4660-10621_7-6718085.html" rel="nofollow">Cnet's Tips for Legal File Sharing with Limewire</a> Cheers, Tom Merritt executive editor CNET TV http://www.cnettv.com/ See, that’s the problem with the whole antipiracy culture.
