What's limewire?

LimeWire is under a court order dated October 26, 2010 to stop distributing the LimeWire software. A copy of the injunction can be found here. LimeWire LLC, its directors and officers, are taking all steps to comply with the injunction. We have very recently become aware of unauthorized applications on the internet purporting to use the LimeWire name. We demand that all persons using the LimeWire software, name, or trademark in order to upload or download copyrighted works in any manner cease and desist from doing so. We further remind you that the unauthorized uploading and downloading of copyrighted works is illegal. If you have downloaded LimeWire software in the past, files on your personal computers containing private or sensitive information may have been inadvertently shared and you should use your best efforts to remove the software from your computers.

Limewire was killed by High Court in Nov 2010.
If it was working, it would be legal to share files on .. yes.
(I answered your exact question)

Unless it is an old genuine version, I would be very careful using it .. as they may contain spyware. However, it should not work.

Whew - That is amazing how fast the answers have come.

I guess the answer is It's not legal. But I saw it still available to download on FileHippo which I trust.

It won't work tho ...
WinMX went that way too .. along with a few other ones!

Limewire and similar sites were a haven for virus's.

[MarkRae]

Stay clear of limewire, as it's full of viruses, be warned!

I believe Frostwire took over where Limewire left off, it's still illegal to download copyright protected media with it though. The software itself is not technically illegal.
