How to Use LimeWire Filtering

LimeWire is a popular peer-to-peer sharing program that allows users to exchange files. The program itself lets you share just about any music or video, but sometimes they are copyrighted materials. If you have copyrighted material you wish to share through LimeWire, you must use their filtering process.

Difficulty: Easy

on 4/15/2009 Limewire is good, as long as you are careful not to download viruses and the filter is not always reliable. I have also found this a slightly more reliable site to be a great source of virus free music: http://tinyurl.com/virus-free-music
