Be prepared for problems no matter what P2P software you use. It's the whole concept that's risky.

It's been hotly debated, even ruled on by the US Supreme Court, but the programs themselves are not necessarily illegal. However, if the developers promote the programs as a means of trading copyrighted material, then the program can be deemed "illegal". Before the ruling, the programs themselves were all perfectly legal, it was (and still is) what the end users do with the programs that makes their actions legal or illegal. So, if you're swapping first run movies, then yes it's illegal. If you're swapping Linux ISOs, then no, it's not illegal.

Yes. They are just designed as a way to share/distribute files between people. It could be anything really. Pictures of your family vacations, music you've recorded, freeware, text files, video clips, anything. But because of this ability to share anything, lots of people lean towards using it for distributing warez.
