Limewire subscription - umlimited downloads for life (???)

Hiya i've been looking for the answer to my question but i am unable to find it anywhere on the net so i'm hoping that someone on here will be able to help me.
Basically in the past i've been using the limewire p2p free software to download my music for my ipod. now i know that it has recently been closed down, which is fine, but i've decided that i want to start getting legit with my downloads. Anyway whilst i was searching for a cheap site to download my music from i came across limewires subscription service where you pay £30, and get unlimited downloads and access for life.

Now i'm not sure if this is still legal, and i'm also unsure as to wether it is ipod compatable. I'm also worried that its just left over from when limewire was still in business - does anyone use this service or can they shed some light on the matter i'm a little confused

thanks

    Hi

    Limewire is back up and running but is now called "Limewire pirate edition".
    Just Google it, and its still free (though not legal!)

    Still is illegal file sharing, the only thing is that you pay them £30 giving over your card details for some extra benefits.

    I thought Limewire had died?
