Hi, I have testing website like gre. I have hired 5 person to write questions. My concern is if they take questions from other popular publisher like Boron then; will I be under crime act? How can I safe myself in this regard? Thank you
You are responsible for content you put on your site - which means you are held responsible for the content you get from hired help. You would pay the copyright holder for infringement and you then might be able to track down your hired help and sue them - which would probably be throwing more money away. Write the questions yourself, or check the work of others before you place it on your site.
Thanks for your reply. If I make disclaimer? and please let me know how someone can sue me, will I get any notice to remove those questions? I am totally unaware about how someone can sue other?
A disclaimer won't get around copyright infringement. There is no notice required before someone decides to sue. Make sure it isn't infringing BEFORE you place it on your site.
Ok, if I decide free users to share questions with each other then how can I protect myself. I have seen 4shared and youtube with lot of copyright material, how they protect themselves
It is according to the site and material they are using. In some site, the materials can be used but cant be sold out. So better check before use.
