I wonder how long LimeWire has before they fold as well.

On a related note, is it illegal at any time to download songs just to listen to them on your computer or is it only illegal if you burn them to a CD?

Of course it is (except when the provider -- e.g. Yahoo! Music videos -- has a deal with the copyright owner).

The strategy that the RIAA is taking implies that the former is true, that even downloading is illegal. Suing grandfathers whose grandson downloaded music seems to be their tactic.
