Media Sharing

[travian5001]

Im not talking about P2P sharing. Im referring to all these new media sharing networks that have recently surfaced. How are the copyrights handled if your sharing all your media publicly online?

the way these sites work is that you can stream any media file you publish on your "page". Whereas i have many many songs and movies downloaded, im afraid to publicly post them in fear that i will be found and sued http://www.isitlegalto.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Although there is an option to download the files (which you can remove from your page) most of it is just streaming from your home PC or Mac. Is this legal?!?http://www.isitlegalto.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

http://share.ovi.com

http://multiply.com

Most of the p2p sharing networks or torrents are illegal. If you can see the main servers of those sites, they would be in Eastern European countries.

If you are doing anything like this make it confidential as there is a probability that you may got caught for piracy.

Most eastern European countries are in the EU so there it would be also illegal.
