    hoster/hostie has to bay copyright laws.....

    if you dont they will find you by 2 steps

    1. hoster that hosting you will give your info to the police/fbi/lawers
    2. if you using a domain they will search up on CNET TRUST so any hiden info will be shown who and who owns it..

    simple but easy.

    If you use freehosting they can delete you and you will never be allowed to host there again... so basic quit when your ahead with no copyrights

    because your host is legally bound to provide ALL details of your account to the relevant authorities, like lee says the chances if them coming after are smaller than they would be for someone owning a massive file sharing site but the fact remains what you're proposnig to do is illegal.

    ok simple bottom line, what you intend to do is downright illegal, theres no get out clause, you pretty much kill any chance of winning any court disputes if your caught (oh and they CAN and will claim in excess of $20,000 per audio track you have on the site, dunno what they average for loss of sales on other content, and yes it really is that steep).

    Your users may be uploading the content however you are distributing it, you are providing a direct service and resource to allow the actual data that is copyrighted to be shared. Whereas with torrent sites you only host a meta file which links users together to share the data. The main difference you can look at (the simplest way i cnan think to put it too you), is the fact on a torrent site NO copyrighted data passes through their network, thats their get out clause, your service will directly pass copyrighted material through a network you (for all intents and purposes) own.

    Without a shadow of a doubt what you intend to do is highly illegal, and the list of possible repurcusions from jail to bankruptcy is endless. However you've gotta get caught first, wap sites are small fish, there pretty much a waste of time pursuing unless they have no one else to activity go after. So there is a chance that you could operate for years and not be caught. However that doesn't make you uncatchable or invincible, some of the best underground groups in the business get caught every hop and catch and they have more money, resource and intelligence in this game than anyone here.

    All in all however its your decision, this is just information you dont wanna hear as it doesnt suit your ideal result, but theres the facts, you've been warned

    Just put a disclaimer on your site claiming that you believe all the files hosted on your site is "in the public domain" and that if someone owns it, they must contact you and you will remove it

    no ive not since id never download anything like that from a direct source that i didnt control myself.

    host and hoster are the same thing

    Your host provides you with the resources to enable you to distribute illegal files, this is bad but not illegal and they will simply get a slap on the wrist and an informal warning to monitor their customers more carefully.

    You will be providing the content, you are the distributee and you are the only who will get the jail sentence if your caught.

    Think of it in torrent terms, running a torrent site is not illegal, you can know there is illegal content there and it is still not illegal (to some extent). However if you go to a torrent site and upload/distribute a movie, thats illegal and you will be the one to be fined/jailed, not the site owner. This is why when torrent sites are taken down they raid the data center as there main point of focus, as once they have the database they can sue the uploaders which are their main target, not so much the owner.

    If your worried about it too much then dont do it, you clearly dont have the knowledge or expertise to even attempt cirventing detection. If your not too worried then go for it, but never let yourself drop into the belief that your are invincible, as you will always lose.

    5th it completely depends on wat material your copyrighting, copying someones wapsite and making it available for download wont get you in any trouble at all, but making the latest movies available would probably land you a few years in jail
