Copyright of mp3 files in india

[mansi]

All Members i want to discuss this topic...
There are many sites providing bollywood or hollywood mp3 files to download which are located on different countries, i want to understand this copyright act as i saw many sites gives disclaimer etc about them that they are not located on there server or these files only for sampling., so they are safe from copyright act or not
some sites like :
mp3skull.com
songs.pk which is blocked by gov. but resurface on songspk.pk
or youthmp3.com
so they are in any penalty or it is safe..

@mansi, The files are not hosted in your site, so you need not to worry about that, If your site catches their eyes, they'll ask you to remove pages linked to copyrighted contents, this is wat mp3skull & beemp3 does frequently due to warnings from dmca etc, In future if you plan to host physical files in your server, then surely that will bring you trouble someday

When you host Illegal files(files which are not created by you OR property of somebody else) on your server even a link to download it, The rightful owner can ask you to remove it or can file a case against you.

The legal penalties for copyright infringement are:

-Infringer pays the actual dollar amount of damages and profits.
-The law provides a range from $200 to $150,000 for each work infringed.
-Infringer pays for all attorneys fees and court costs.
-The Court can issue an injunction to stop the infringing acts.
-The Court can impound the illegal works.
-The infringer can go to jail.

You should know that giving disclaimer like we care about music industry we are helping in promotion, And hosted file are for testing purpose do not give you licence to host illegal files.

But still even after knowing this rules people host illegal files and provide download, If you want to play safe don't host it, Else it is up to you.
