It IS illegal.  And anyone sharing or taking doesn't have permission.  No one has permission.  That's the fun of downloading:  you can break the law and not get caught.

Ditto.
But I joined one of those MP3 sites where you pay for them...and they're official.
It's a good site, I've had no problem with it...and the good thing is...it's perfectly LEGAL.
Downloading without paying is illigal.

In Canada we're already paying fees in our taxes that help pay for the creation of CDs, I believe, or something along those lines, so we're already paying artists for trying to sell their music in our country. Therefore, it is not illegal, in Canada, to download music. Programs like Photoshop and Word are definitely illegal to download, though.

Most musicians are not hurt by downloading music, it's the record executives who get all the money. Musicians get maybe 1% of each CD sold. I say boycot the RIAA, an organization of greed.

That reminds of a topic we had a while ago... and a post I made in that topic.

Ah, there are two.  this and this.

Some of that is outdated, but most of it holds true.

True, but it's not like the US really enforces copyright law online.  Almost all of the cases involving piracy have been civil, not criminal.

There is no such thing as peace and there never will be. Peace is a delusion believed by the weak. Gandhi said : "An eye of an eye would leave the whole world blind". So be it because only a blind world can experience the peace that it deserves. But there in lay the sick irony. Who will be able to see this peace? The human species is at war. The enemy walks among us nearly invisible. Only those with true discernment can see them. But only one with discernment and vision can show them to others

It is illegal, but it's one of those laws that are rarely obeyed and enforced.

The RIAA can sue people, but they catch a very small percentage of people who download music. And they always sue the last kind of people who deserve to be sued, they sue the poor, teenagers, and college students. I haven't heard any story's of a rich person being sued for downloading music.

Yeah that's true, and the other part is the rich kids at my school are  corporate whores. The RIAA loves corporate whores, because they buy the crappy music they push.

Why buy the music when I can get it free off of LimeWire? If I get/got caught I'd say it was Lime Wire's fault. They let me do it. :P

Therefore it isnt the fault of LimeWire.

Like IceFox said, just because you can use it for illegal purposes doesnt mean its intended. Look at a the VCR, you can pirate movies using them, yet they are illegal. Google or any search engine is a prime example, with a few keywords, I could pull up millions of serial numbers, yet it isnt illegal.
