Limewire

In the US today, technology is expanding at a rapid pace. With the internet being the main component of technology in many people's lives, music pirating has become the norm for youth. Programs like Limewire, Kazaa, Ares, etc make it so easy to get your favorite music and movies for free, at the click of a button. It seems harmless. The recent transformation from physical to digital has allowed for programs like iTunes to exist. But I don't want to pay a dollar for every song I want to listen to. Especially when I can download it for free from Limewire. Using Limewire can be either legal or illegal, depending upon what you're downloading or sharing. Using Limewire, or anything else, to download material that is under copyright (music, software, or movies) is illegal. It's a violation of international copyright law, and if you're caught the fine is between $750.00 and $150,000.00 per file illegally downloaded. It's ethically wrong, illegally wrong but financially beneficial. You decide.
