Just wondering if streaming of audio files (not download) is legal. I want to provide audio streaming facility on my file hosting site. So would I be liable of any copyright file uploaded to the site? for example songs etc? whats the way to get around that? any suggestions. Thanks Alvin
Nope. It would be considered infringement. There are some services out there that allow you to do this for a relatively low fee and it covers appropriate royalties. I have a friend who is doing something like this. I just don't remember the name. If I get a chance I will find out.
Not legal for all types pf audio files and not even for 10 seconds preview. Of courese if you have author agreement it' not a problem. But always keep such agreement in safe place...
