The above mentioned memberships are for Limewire's 'premier' service. I'm not sure exactly how they differ from the free service but none of them have anything to do with licensing rights to downloaded music.<br /><br />Limewire has a forum and the question of legality is often asked there. The consensus seems to be that one is in jeopardy if someone wants to make an issue of your downloading. The conduit (LimeWire) apparently has no liability in the matter. They just act as a conduit and are not, themselves, offering the files.
Meaning Lakelovers son may have illegal copyrighted music on his computer. Meaning he could be sued like thousands of others "not very likely though" by the RIAA....Originally posted by Boomyal:<br />??????Originally posted by LadyFish:<br /> rutt ro

My son says it's file sharing between users, but sounds a little gray to me. Right, the pay LimeWire is for Premier service. I understand that he burned the songs to CD then deleted them from the computer. I've been kind of iffy on the whole thing and may pull the plug on this.<br /><br />We have a program called Sure Delete (I think, I see it on the desktop all the time but don't use it often, so I don't remember the exact name) that is supposed to destroy all traces of files you delete with it.<br /><br />Anybody know if this really works?Originally posted by ggoody:<br />Meaning Lakelovers son may have illegal copyrighted music on his computer.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. I don't like the whole copyright infringement mindset that seems prevalent on line. I'm a photographer and would be very upset to find my copyrighted photos stolen without compensation. Just because you can do something doesn't make it right. I think it's time to pull the plug on that deal.
