Well it's really up to you. I won't give you a simple yes/no answer, but after reading this you should figure it out!

I just checked one of my machines.

13 installed PC Games
About a 100 Appz
15 filesharing apps
20 video editing apps
loads of CD/dvd Apps

Here's the kicker, only the Operating System is legit.

The "people" won't find out. Very hard to track millions of people.

Ya get my point?

I actually have a friend who downloaded limewire pro off limewire.
He says it works fine. No MPAA knocking at his door. So i guess its fine.

I actually paid for LimeWire pro, how dumb.

A Filesharing application cant really moan to anyone about having cracked versions of it's software floating about on its own filesharing network can it?

What makes me laugh is if you do a search for DVD Shrink or Decrypter on there... why do people share programs like this when you can get from the net for free anyway?!

saves companys bandwidth if people download thier programs on p2p. even if its free. and sometimes it is even faster to get it via p2p rather than http

Why the hell would the MPAA get you in trouble for downloading LimeWire? :S

P2P Applications aren't illegal. People misuse them, but they aren't illegal.. yet...

i guesse they mean of what programs they use, ie download limewire pro and use that for music etc.

The funniest thing is you can download limewire free, search and download limewire pro from that hehe
