I'm not sure if they make a MAC version or not. Limewire is legal, but not every file you can download using limewire is legal. much of it is pirated material.

Yes you can download Limewire to a MAC. 2. You would only get caught if you are doing something illegal. Downloading Limewire is not illegal. 3. Having limewire on your computer is legal. Limewire is a legal peer-to-peer or P2P program. It's WHAT you download from Limewire that might get you in trouble. Current music is heavily protected by copyright and both artists and the recording industry are out in full force to protect those copyrights. If you just want an occasional piece of music, which is what I use Limewire for, nothing will happen to you. If you download programs that have cracking keys, you are asking for trouble for that's where the viruses lurk. Your questions in order:
