Yes.
The program in itself is not illegal, but a lot of the content you download on it is illegal, especially if you're from U.S. or in other countries with excessive harsh laws.

Which country are you from ?

It's not illegal to download or use Limewire, but the minute you download copyrighted material, and your country have laws against it, it's of course illegal, but the chance of being sued for it, is the same chance you have winning the 1st price in lotto, or even smaller.

yeah i mean the files are illegal ...

Copyrighted files, not all files.
Of course, most of the material on P2P is copyrighted somehow, but there's still legal music/videos, etc. on P2P

in i usa

The chance of being sued is higher in U.S. than in any other country, but still small.
RIAA have sued more than 17.000 people in U.S., and with 295 mill. Americans, that means they sued 1 of 17352 Americans or so, of course all Americans doesn't have internet or download music, but I still say the chance is pretty small.  :D

Don't take his advice, you will go to jail!

And it's a well known fact once the other inmates find out what you're in for, your stay won't be pleasant  :'(
