The Little Guy Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Anyone know the steps in ways I could open an online music store to legally sell music downloads? What would I need to do to make it legal, not how to make the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I think you'd have better luck talking to a lawyer, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well... what does Apple do to sell music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 They hired lots of lawyers to acquire selling rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well... what does Apple do to sell music? No offense, but I find it rather strange when people have a question like "What did company X do to do Y?" and then decide to ask us instead of the company.

zq29 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 If you own the copyright to the music or legal rights to sell someone elses music, you shouldn't need anything... Should you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Well, kinda depends. You might need all the standard stuff any other businesses need, like a business licence, tax id, etc.. but this is the internet, so idk. I'm not a lawyer so I couldn't tell you for sure. Hence my first post: I think you'd have better luck talking to a lawyer, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilmGod Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 There are websites that provide such services. I remember one time reading on a website where you would be in charge of keeping track of all the music/songs bought/played and pay accordingly afterwards. This should only be a short term solution, as you would be a reseller, and having to pay the "middle man." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I found 2 of those: http://www.bmi.com/ http://www.ascap.com/index.html But, that isn't really the direction I was hoping on going with this, but if it is the only way that I can find, then maybe that is where I would have to start out.
