    Hi,

    I'm starting a new video/music site soon and won't be taking any videos off youtube.

    But what I want to know is can I actually do this.

    Is it illegal to let people upload music and videos they have onto my site?

    All posts will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    If the content is copyrighted, yes.

    Like,

    Take youtube for example.

    It'll be just like that.

    I guess it depends on whether or not the content is copyrighted but from what I've seen a lot of webmasters have fallen head first into a lake of legal feces after investing in video upload sites...

    so I'd really advise you to consult a lawyer specializing in the internet before you actually make the million-dollar decision.
