I think Limewire is shutting down anyway.

If it's just mp3s he's after then he could also try ARES ;)

edit:There's a lot of fakes/scams out there so get it from

If you want Creative Commons licence free music, by all means use Limewire. Soon, Limewire will add a disclaimer asking whether or not you want to download copyrighted material - if you say you do, the programme will close itself.

Won't stop people sharing stuff, though. Again, as Shaun says, AllOfMP3 is cheap and safe - and there's no chance of being sued for downloaded copyrighted music. :)
