Hi DP people, I'm planning to create a website where users can able to download music and games as well as their accesories. Just want to ask if the website is legal.
As long as the content was open source and freely re-distributable or you have licenses to re-distribute the content, then it wouldn't have any problems, if however the content is copyrighted, then it's copyright infringement and is indeed illegal if you don't own the licenses to distribute the content.
Though it cannot be legal, try putting some disclaimer that they are not hosted in your server and asking anyone to contact u through email if they find anything offensive , so that u can remove from your site.
^ thats pretty much what i do with my music website. As long as you comply with the artists and remove their content if ever asked, you should be fine. Always, always stick to their good side, and remove if it needed. I've survived for nearly 2 years now with my music website.. so still going good. Of course I've had a few emails from record labels/artists etc. but all good..
Non-copyrighted contents are free to download. But download tags are not given much importance in getting good recognition in google.Especially blogs
It depends on your jurisdiction. In some countries the download is legal but not uploading music and games. Where are you located?
Some people do that, but that's usually illegal, especially if you are making a profit. Check "music download" in Wikipedia.
