Hello, i have a small issue i have a very good domain and im wishing to open a site that DOES NOT host Music nor Videos but actually its like all these people are using those linking search engine scripts?????? i have found a lot of them i just want to make sure before i start installing the script...
I'm not 100% sure about it. - Well i haven't really reached a solid answer. Some people say that it's okay to link to files while others says it counts as copyright infringement. My host based in the US hasn't had a problem with it. It will also depend on your country of residence. - Take a look at your local laws. Some countries have no law against it while others are pretty tough on it. - Don't think it counts where your server is located (As most people say around here). And i know this is advertising in another persons thread but i think it may help you out if you are still unsure about it. - I've got a new script which uses youtube embed but still functions as a audio search engine. Heres the link: http://scriptowl.com/product_info.php?products_id=40 - I looked into the laws for it and from what i know it's legal.
Your idea sounds a bit like a torrent site, and a few have them have been closed for infringing copyright.
In such situation just think logically..... if you are linking to illegal content, then what your doing is illegal. A clear recent example of this was TV-LINKS.CO.UK
