Blogspot + warez = fine legally?

    Hey guys,

    I was thinking of starting a website on blogger (blogspot) that allowed users to download copyrighted material through websites such as rapidshare, megaupload, hotfile.

    As I'm going to copy content from other sites including warez websites and display it crediting it to the websites the content was taken, is that fine?

    Or if i post a content and an 'anonymous' user leaves a comment directing to the download links, is that fine?

    Of cause it isn't. You know the list of issues your facing, its up to you to decide if the risks are worth the potential gains.

    Some blogspot warez users didn't get caught. However, it is very risky and you do not have a backup to begin with.

    Its because i've been reading alot and these are what I got from this forum:

    "As long as you don't host the warez (link to rapidshare or something), and your is not in the USA

    It is totally legal and they cannot do anything."

    "If the act is committed outside the US, the US has no prosecution jurisdiction except under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA) (which only applies to Dept. of Def Civillians and Active Duty Military)"


    I'm from australia, thats why i asked.

    if you upload to megashare.com and link it into blogger it will be fine as my own experience
    i have used rapidshare hotfile and sharingmatrix (now fileserve) but got my blog deleted however later on i try megashare and they did not delete this time for further have a look at www.paktech.co.cc
    still not sure if they delete or not but on other hosts i get my blog deleted within 1 month and with megashare its more then 6 months now and still up
