I was amazed that people still used LimeWire when I heard about the court injunction last week.....
I was around 14-15 when I last used Limewire, what 10years ago now lol...
My advice is to legally obtain audio if you want single tracks.
So download Spotify then download the Spotify Ripper which will extract the data from your soundcard and encode this into an mp3 file.
This is not illegal.
The other method is to download Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome then install a youtube ripper which again will extract the audio data from the video and encode this into an mp3 file.
This is not illegal.
Search google for any of the above.
for albums the "safest" way is blogs/music forums where users will upload the albums online using services such as Rapidshare/Megaupload.
Then give you the hyperlink.
if you find the right places its straightforward from then on.
Most places are private/invite only
Torrenting is p2p, so you are uploading data whilst downloading at the same time, this can result in RIAA and other orgs recording info about your connection and its activities.
