    That would be a pirated movie and thus we cannot offer you any help with that.

    Did you pay for the movie? If not it's copyright infringement.

    I have limewire pro, that I paid for. So that's not copyright infringement. But how did it get into all this ?

    Books, songs, movies etc are protected by copyright. It is illegal to obtain a copy of such matierial without the permission of the copyright holder. When you buy such items, you don't actually own the item, but buy a license to use that item under a set of conditions. One of those conditions is that you don't make copies to give and especially not to sell to other people. When you download copyrighted material for free you are essentially stealing it.

    I'm surprised this comes as such a surprise to you since there has been a lot of news coverage about such things.

    But the bottomline is that you downloaded an illegal copy and we will not help you steal copyright material.

    Just so you know, you've kind of been swindled with Limewire Pro if that made you believe that the fact of paying a fee made the service legit - it is not. Check their site (I can't link you from work since it's a blocked site), they will have a disclaimer relating to the downloading of copyrighted material.

    Yea, you should probably uninstall it, unless you want to risk the wrath of RIAA and MPAA.

    I would agree that you should uninstall it and delete any material you downloaded from it.
