Illegal ? Safe ?

I know alot of sites have done this, Kazaa Lite (original) did, and an old mp3 site did to. If i sent people my mixes and music via MSN and got them to host it for me (freely - i give them a link back), and just link to this media from my website, am i responsible for it.. legallly?

Kazaa Lite did it...... It sent people the exe file, they hosted it, they linked to it. No problems.

I won't get into trouble for just sending people the mixes via MSN?

I think you would still be liable to pay the copyright owner some sort of royalty on their original work.

AOL stated to transfer music via email for a radio station is perfectly legal as the aol package comes with certain performance rights :)

But I doubt if d'loading and sending does. It's a minefield :(

Well no, but sending from your own collection is ok :)

Who's to prove where you got each song from? :)
