I have studied ineternet law for at a class at RPI. Technically there is
no way they can stop you because it is impossible to monoir every file you
put on ur site. And if they do that means nothing on ur network is safe
including e-mail. Usually its up to the indivual companies to come up with
a policy and enforce it. Some places have a policy of NO POLICY.
I am seriously looking for latin and acid jazz mp3z. If anybody can
provide help please let me know.
The only problem I think you may have is space as one song can take 4-5
MEGS (that is what I was trying to say before).
