My daughter's friend has signed up for this website (free version) for free downloads but it looks like Napster type site to me with File Sharing issues.

http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

Is it safe - or should I just run away - your comments as ever would be appreciated.  :)

Sorry, thread locked. We all know what these p2p systems are really for, despite their (limited) legal use.
