I use limewire also and have been lucky enough not to have anything bad happen. My brother (who knows lots about computers) says you can minimize the risks of getting cited for copyright infringement if you remove your downloaded songs from your Shared File. Whenever you download something off of one of these file sharing sites your downloaded files are automatically stored in a Shared Files folder. The contents of this folder are then accessable to any other members of that site. Those are the files that they are able to download off of you. If you remove the songs you've downloaded from this folder and put them in a personal folder on your computer, they can no longer be copied off of you and you technically would not be guilty of sharing copyrighted material. I don't know if this is entirely true but it has worked for me so far. But then again, I really don't download that often so I am not sure.
