Is this illegal?

Yea but rapidshare cannot control the uploading of legit/unlegit files. By asking for this to happen they are legally in the right.

That's why LimeWire get away with it.

Yes it is illegal, as he would be hosting the files.

Could he write terms and conditions which makes the person accept all responsibility like myspace?

Hey,
My friend gave me the domain www.techremix.info.
And I just got a new idea for it. The idea was to do a music uploading site, where other people could upload and download songs etc.
But I've got a question:
- Is this illegal?

I don't want to do things that are illegal, so I thought I could ask you guys =)

Best regards,
Meti

Yes, Copyright.
You dont own the content.

He knows that, but he's asking if he has the right to distribute the files for free, which he cannot as it's a criminal offense.

Limewire don't "HOST" any of the content it shows in the searches - the users host it, and share it whilst on limewire (unless they've disabled it)

They get away with it as they are providing an application and state in the download process if you download this what proposes you using it for and if its illegal intentions = you cant download it, but we all know we're going to be downloading music/porn/ and in some cases child porn (you sick *******s)

Get a server in Iran, no copyright laws there - only on their own material.
