What is a copyright infringement?

What legal protection from copyright infringement is necessary or recommended for an audio website (Youtube minus video) for an international audience launched from the Republic of Ireland?

  • Users have the freedom to upload any audio, so when they upload copyright infringing Music or E-books, how do you protect the site from legal action?

  • Answer:

    It is impossible to get protection from the law for copyright infringement where other's post content, except in the United States. The DMCA gives safe harbor to websites that follow the rules in the law, protecting them from lawsuits for content that was posted by users. Other countries have no such protections. The only other way to do this is to get a license from record distributors allowing the online distribution of content. At which point, why have the users upload? Plus this is probably beyond your budget.
