Default Limewire = Trouble?

Read from the computer sub-section...it looks like Limewire is giving a lot of folks a headache. The question is I had some music downloaded from Limewire too. I moved them to my external heard drive and hooked it to my new PC and I played some of the songs in my new PC. Did I just shoot myself in the foot ? FWIW, I noticed some of the song's path were still pointing to the old path when the ext. HD was hooked to my old PC and I could not update the path no matter what I tried.

Anyways, here is the link to the thread talking about Limewire trouble...

Limewire SUCKS!!!!!!!! After downloading some songs, my old laptop was hit with a virus. I lost my CD drive and sound and haven't been able to start it up, even after taking it to an expert . Best thing is to stay away from Limewire, I know theres ppl who use it with no problem, but I was one of those unlucky one who got hit hard.

also, if you want to get sued by the RIAA, using limewire is a good start.
