    What type of experience are you looking for? I have taught Copyright Law and Internet Law before at the law school level, so I might be able to point you in the right direction.

    What I can tell you is that if you are going to go down this path and create a file hosting site you should do some research yourself to see if it is something you want to really get into, and if you do then you should really have a copyright/Internet lawyer work with you to make sure your site is going to be set up properly to not lead to legal issues. The RIAA and MPAA are quite aggressive these days.
