    Hi,

    Well I am looking to make a site which offers:-

    Free downloads of:-
    .PSD files
    Web Scripts
    Templates

    I am making them myself or buying full rights to re-brand and offer

    What are the legal aspects?

    If you're creating them yourself or buy full rights (and are certain the source you buy from has the right to bestow that upon you), then I dont see any legal issues.

    Just make sure you have the obligatory disclaimers or EULA which absolves you of all liability due something going wrong with the stuff your provide.

    Do a search. Or goto any shareware download site and see what kind of disclaimers they have. Or open any piece of software, because they all have EULAs. Its basically so someone doesn't download your software, claim it messed up their computer and try to sue you for damages.
