What should I charge for this?

The website I have been thinking of makeing is a website where you subscribe and pay a fee per month, and then are able to download my collection of movies via FTP.

How much should I charge for the subscription? Also where could I find a script that can add FTP accounts after payment and remove them if a recurring payment does not happen.

 

Ekkk, sounds like major legal troubles waiting to happen. Do you have the rights to distribute the movies?

 

I started to think about that. How can i get that? Is it like music where you pay royalties or is it just not possible.

 

I wouldnt even think about it unless you had major $$$ or a major company backing you.

 

Hmm, so how do all those anime episode/movies download places stay up?

 

By evading the law.

 

Allright. Thanks guys. -throws idea out of the window-

Time for more brainstorming.

 

No problem. You could always do the service if the videos were your own.

 

Fansubs and whatnot do it through BT. And many just link to them so they're safe.

 

Actually, its illegal to link to copyrighted files now. I think I read it on digg about a week ago.

Ouch, that hurts alot of companies. Time for them to look for another loophole.

 

Stay away from illegal stuff you will never win!

 

I agree. Instead of trying to find a loophole, find a new industry or invest that time into thinking of a unique website idea.

 

I didn't say I was looking for a loophole. I am still looking for a new idea.

 

you might be able to get away with this if your server is on some random island that no one can get to.

 

I am not even going to risk it.

 

So what you are saying is, you wanted to offer rips of movies online and people would have to pay you to be able to download them, all of that without you paying anything to the creators of the material?

WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!

 

Just move to Russia.

 

Did you really ever think that could be legal? You could probably get away with this if you lived in a country like Russia though.

Edit: oh look the guy above me already suggested that lol

 

More like a random collection of anime movie and episodes spanning a few TB's of space.

And honestly, Right after I posted that I thought "WTF was I thinking" and apparently, you guys agreed with me.

lol.
