LimeWire is a free program that anyone can download from the internet. It is very similar to what Napster was in the late 1990's except users can download much more than music. Users can download computer programs and video as well. LimeWire has some legal issues, but officials say that the prevalent problem is with people downloading illegal content.Computer expert Frank Pieczatkiewicz says that LimeWire does have legal uses."There is a lot of music artists trying to get their stuff distributed so they turn to the internet to do that," said Pieczatkiewicz.LimeWire is a peer to peer program. What that means is, when you download the program onto your computer, you can connect to the internet and hook up to someone else's computer. Once hooked up to their computer, you can look through the files that they are sharing through their LimeWire program. At that point, you can take whatever files you choose. One of the problems with the program is that the files are often purposely mislabeled and users never know what they are going to get when they complete their download."You could innocently download a piece of music and it just crashes your whole computer," said Pieczatkiewicz.In addition to the dangerous computer viruses, LimeWire is also a link to a variety of illegal material including everything from copyrighted material to child pornography.Southwest Florida law enforcement officials say they have seen a big problem with the program. They say that they are seeing more and more illegal porn cases involving LimeWire.
