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
