Here's the situation. I'm might acquire a download website. This site has a LOT of traffic and the site it totally whitehat and all downloads on the website are legal.

It offers downloads on tons of sections and gets a lot of downloads per day. However, one section it doesn't offer downloads for is music downloads. I know you can't just upload a cd and share it online because that is illegal. What I wanted to know is if I can face legal issues if I post indirect download links, meaning I will provide a link to download that cd but I don't host the music, and I don't have any affiliation with the website/server the album is hosted in.

Basically what I want to do is find links to download cds online and add BHCB to be able to download the cds. I just don't know if I can get sued or serious trouble if all I'm doing is providing people with a link I found elsewhere that really has nothing to do with me.

I'm also interested to know if I would get into trouble if create a rapidshare account and upload cds to rapidshare to provide myself instead of having to search for download links on the web.

Thanks for your time
 
I would like to know this too. Thanks for asking.

Still illegal bro, get offshore and stay safe if you decide to do it anyway.

I heard they can still track you down. Can't they track you though your CPA network?

Also, is it illegal to someone elses page that links to the music?

Yeah I really would like to know this but I have a feeling that maybe only a lawyer could tell us. I hope someone knows though :)
 
Bumping in the hopes of someone who knows the answer seeing this =]
 
They can still track you down but I don't thin it will matter if you have offshore since you are hosting the content in a place where its legal to share warez.
