LIMEWIRE USED FOR ID THEFT

A Seattle man was arrested after Limewire and Soulseek were used to commit identity theft. Gregory Kopiloff allegedly trolled through data on other file sharers' computers. Financial information was found, and was used to open credit cards.

Kopiloff is accused of buying more than $73,000 worth of goods with the credit cards. The theft affected at least 83 people. The Justice Department says this is the first case of its kind.

Children often use Limewire to exchange music files. The songs are usually copyrighted, so sharing them is illegal. It can land the kids' parents in hot water.
