I just can't resist correcting this one despite the risk of running foul of a mod... Limewire as a P2P application is not in any way more illegal than any other P2P application is; neither is the Gnutella protocol it makes use of illegal in itself. Bittorrent is simply another P2P protocol (and the name of the original application that implements the protocol), and if you wanted to brand an application/protocol "mostly illegal" based on the fact that unfortunately ALL P2P apps/protocols are factually used for copyright infringement 99% of the time, then Bittorrent certainly qualifies as well, and if you look at the current stats, more so than most others.
