General Comments
It is a great site to get unlimited, free downloads. However downloading copyright material is illegal. But the problem comes with what else you are downloading with the songs. I used limewire for a period of about 2 months, and during that time I downloaded about 160 songs. One day, when I turned on my computer, it had a red screen, and said in the middle "Your computer has been infected with Spyware". I got back to Windows and ran a Norton Antivirus scan. In the first 200 files, 3 Trojan Horses came up. After it was done, it ended up finding over 300 Trojans, with over half of them being Trojan Horses. So if you have a trashed computer that you don't mind throwing away, then you can use it. Also be aware that if the program is in your C drive, everything in your C drive can be downloaded by anyone, including hidden files.
