    Ofcourse it's not legal to host other peoples intellectual property such as melodies, vidoes or even wallpapers which often are copyrighted photos/work.

    You need to buy a license to resell such material.

    Whats the difference?

    You still earn money on their intellectual property regardless. Stealing stuff and giving it away doesn't make the stealing part any less.

    im not too sure about licensing. (it'll definatly cost a lot though). Most myspace video code sites link to videos on a completely different server to avoid illegalities although I think this is still an infringement.
