The software, Limewire, is not, at least, in the U.S., illegal. However, most of the songs you can access through Limewire are being illegally shared. Additionally, when you use Limewire, you're allowing people you don't know access to your hard drive. As you are using a Mac, the risk of viruses and mal ware is less than if you were using Windows.

It's still a bad idea.

Additional note: typing all in caps is considered shouting.
