    Hi,

    I was going to start a music sharing site . What all copyrights do I need to buy? Or what is the procedure to start it legally? A help would be appreciated.

    What do you mean "music sharing site"?

    Depending on your business model you may need to get permission from the copyright holder for each tune that your service allows to be shared or a more blanket agreement may be able to be reached depending on if your wanting to pay royalties or not.

    If you want to create music or movies search engine website ..i guess you have some script that you buy here in DP or whereever ..to be safe use offshore hosting ..the site that you provide is hosted in canada is website directory ..people open an account and submit their stuff ..you should approve the uploads ..so i don't know which is the best option .
