I figured out how to make nice quality ringtones thanks to the hard work and advice of others in the forums. I have also thought of putting a site togther so that i can give other people access to what i have been able to make (although my old computer finally died and i have to re-create everything again :irked: ).
My question is this: How do you take the ringtones made from songs, TV and movies and put them on a website without getting in trouble for copyright infringement? I don't want to sell them, just be able to share what i have made (and will ultimately re-make). I had to ask because the record companies seem eager to sue anyone these days and i don't want to get into that kind of trouble.
I figured that if it was free it would be ok, but i just wanted to make sure. I have read where some of you either have sites now, or have made them in the past. I would love to make a ringtone site where i could make some money with it, but that seems to be a big challenge. I think that i would have to get permission to use the sings for ringers, pay royalties and follow a lot of extra rules that would make it too much of a hassle.
I would appreciate any info that anyone could give me. I have thought about this for a while, but haven't acted on it yet for a lack of resources. But that may not be a problem anymore, giving me the chance to actually try this CRAZY idea of mine.
Thanks
