Heyooooo.
I am currently thinking about making a website that solely provides in flight entertainment (films, videos, music, etc)
I have a way to get round all the legalities of this so dont worry.
Who would be intrested in it, or would use it when it is open?
There will also be a desktop application that access' the website for easy access =]

I'm curious as to what you mean by, "I have a way to get round all the legalities of this so dont worry."

"getting around the legalities" and being legal are not the same thing to me. Please eleborate.

Ermmm... I hope I don't make myself look stupid... How would that inflight entertainment work?

[Tracker801]

To make it work is pretty simple Relichd.... nothing a DL and extraction to the folder of choice cant handle
You know the folder outline of FSP as well as we all do

Hmmm, a way around isn't the same as legally warranted....
Its a way of pirating anyone elses hard work in a way non-tracable, AKA hacking.
I concur with my fellow Mods here regarding.

Noees.
Right, Meaning I personally don't host the files,
external linking.

Either that or i get offshore hosting spcifically for this.

...Rightttttttt

Still sounding Illegal....

Even if you dont host the files...

"Oh I like Led Zeppelin, I'll go to Limewire or some torrent and download all their albums, but its not illegal becuase I wasnt the one
hosting the files..."

Wrong, Still Illegal everywhere but Canada...

And Offshore, still going to you, still Illegal...


Or have I just mis-interpreted you?

Its legal since I only provide the links, if you feel like going copyright mad one someone, do it on the websites that have the content, since i only
get the links.

Copyright is a legal concept that gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights for a certain time period in relation to that work,
including its publication, distribution and adaptation; after which time the work is said to enter the public domain. Copyright applies to any
expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete. Some jurisdictions also recognize "moral rights" of the creator of a
work, such as the right to be credited for the work.

Taken directly from the copyright law. And there is more.

Unless you, personally, have an agreement to use the files, no matter where you got them from, from the performing artist, agent and/or producer, any
files carrying copyright (any music, clip or film unless directly set forward as freeware by the artist) are illegal.
It does strike me that you have not read up on copyright issues before starting a venture like this.
I concur with my collegues here that unless you have an official agreement these files are illegally obtained either by yourself or any third party.
Mentioning they are from YouTube and you are only linking them does not carry any weight in law. The mere fact you are using files from YouTube does
not clear you of copyright law, in fact, as the creator of a program using such files makes you personally responsible.

Also, I have to concur with my collegues, that your program does appear to relate to FSPassengers to any outsider.
FSPassengers is not related to your program in any way so if you would kindly remove any links and marks to FSPassengers from your program there will
not be an issue at hand.

Hope you do get this solved before the first company-lawyers come knocking on your door.
Overall the idea is good and needs just a little more work.
I wish you the best of luck on getting it done, but do check the law
