LimeWire - File Sharing - Comments Page 7

I'm really scared for my best friend because she has been using limewire for a while and I'm afraid she'll get sued. If she just deletes the program and gets rid of all the songs will she be okay, or will there still be consequences? I'm really worried that she will get sued, is there a validity to my worrying or not?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, I think there is some validity to your concerns -- IF she has been downloading copyrighted music. And especially if she has configured Limewire to "share" those downloaded songs with others. Deleting the music and the software is a good pro-active step.

She just recently deleted it, but never checked to see if she was sharing downloads. She downloaded about 100 or so songs and she feels really guilty about it and really doesn't want to get sued. She has gotten rid of all the songs and the limewire software, but could it still be sharing her files? Thanks for your help!

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you deleted the software, you are no longer sharing files.

I used limewire to download songs. But i am charged extra by my cable company if I download more than 30 gigs(a month)I find the file shareing aspect of Limewire is eating up my gig limit rapidly. On my bill... data transfer.. half the gigs used were for(outgoing) files. So make sure that you limit your bit rate of transfer and what files you want to share. if you leave the door open it may be troublesome.SH

EDITOR'S NOTE: It may be more than troublesome... you could end up in court facing RIAA lawyers. Do a Google search for "Cassi Hunt".

I have files on limewire that are saved but being shared is this ok.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you are sharing copyrighted (commercial) material, then you run the very real risk of being sued by the RIAA.

I'm sorry I have files on limewire that are saved but NOT shared is this ok?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Probably, but if you continue to download copyrighted materials, you still run the risk...

how do you copy a song from limewire to my music file???

EDITOR'S NOTE: That depends what your "music file" is...

I fix computers for a living. 1 out of 3 computers that I get with viruses have Limewire on them. I can't PROVE that the reason they have viruses is Limewire because the people that use these computers also let their antivirus programs expire, it's usually the original copy of Norton that they don't renew. Sigh. I don't remember ever having to remove any viruses from a computer that had a current antivirus, except mine of course.

i use limewire and i was wondering if i should share or not share the files i have already downloaded from them

EDITOR'S NOTE: Wondering? Still?

My son downloaded a lot of bad songs, movies and videos, plus some of our family pictures, how do I get them off and i can't get to the homepages or the pages which lets you delete things when I try to pull up limewire all i get is the video pages

EDITOR'S NOTE: Try using Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.

K, whenever I go to type in a song for my limewire, nothing comes up. NOTHING AT ALL!
It's really making me mad and I was wondering what I could do to make this work again.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe you've reached your PSQ (Pirated Song Quota) for the month. Try again in July.
